begin quotes regarding Hurricane Oscar:
#Hurricane #Oscar has made landfall in Cuba - the first October hurricane to make landfall in Cuba since Matthew (2016).
Microcane #OSCAR is approaching Cuba with winds of 70 knots. Structure presents nicely on US military radar. Pinhole eye previously passed over Great Inagua Isle & apparently also Grand Turk. (A follower there reported hurricane winds, 15-minute calm, & then a sharp wind shift.)
