Tropical Storm Oscar brought heavy rains and winds to Cuba, an island already beleaguered by a massive power outage, late Sunday after brushing the Bahamas. It made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph) in the eastern Cuban province of Guantanamo,

Tropical Storm Oscar remained crouched over eastern Cuba, where it could drop more than a foot of rain as it crawls over the island nation at 3 mph. Oscar was a tiny, weak storm, with tropical-storm-force winds extending just 45 miles from the center and maximum sustained winds at 40 mph.

Oscar, which the National Hurricane Center characterized as "very small," is the 15th named storm of the hurricane season.
