Hurricane Oscar makes landfall on Great Inagua Island as it heads for Cuba
Summary: Hurricane Oscar made landfall on Great Inagua Island early Sunday, with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph. Hurricane warnings are now in effect for the Turks and Caicos Islands and the Southeast Bahamas.
Oscar is expected to reach northeastern Cuba tonight as a category one hurricane. High pressure over Florida is likely to prevent any impact from the storm in that region.
The National Hurricane Center is also monitoring Tropical Depression Nadine, which made landfall near Belize City on Saturday. Florida is still recovering from recent storms, including Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
