Tropical Storm Oscar has dissipated as it moved towards the Bahamas after hitting Cuba as a Category 1 hurricane, resulting in the loss of at least seven lives and causing heavy rainfall on an island already grappling with a significant power outage.
The remnants of Oscar were situated approximately 75 miles east-southeast of Long Island in the Bahamas on Tuesday afternoon. The storm's maximum sustained winds decreased to 35 mph as it moved northeast at 12 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
