Tropical Storm Rafael, intensifying in the Caribbean, threatens to become a hurricane, with dangerous wind, storm surge, and heavy rain likely impacting the Keys and Cuba.
Rafael is expected to reach hurricane strength near the Cayman Islands as it continues moving north-west, prompting warnings for possible tornadoes over southeastern Florida.
The National Hurricane Center indicated that if Rafael approaches the Florida Keys around high tide, storm surge could lead to significant inundation in some areas.
Cuba is bracing for Rafael's impact just weeks after Hurricane Oscar, facing challenges with recovery and an ongoing economic crisis that complicates relief efforts.
