About a year ago‚ Tropical Storm Oscar appeared east of the Turks and Caicos islands causing worry in the Caribbean. The Bahamas government quickly put out a hurricane warning (this shows how serious the situation was)
The storm was spotted 265 km east-southeast of the Bahamas and 470 miles east of Camaguey‚ Cuba. Its winds were blowing at 80 miles per hour – thats pretty strong. The U.S National Hurricane Center (NHC) gave this info
Cuba didnt wait around either; they issued a hurricane watch for Guantanamo‚ Holguin‚ and Las Tunas provinces. This means they were getting ready for possible trouble
The NHC said that lots of rain might fall on the Turks and Caicos islands and southeastern Bahamas later that day. They thought the rain would reach eastern Cuba the next day
Its important to note that storms like Oscar can change quickly. People in these areas had to stay alert and follow what their local weather services said. Being ready for bad weather is key when you live in hurricane-prone places
