Rain, tropical-storm-force winds and even the potential for some tornadoes are possible for some portions of Florida with Hurricane Rafael.

Hurricane Rafael, a powerful category 2 storm verging on category 3, was bearing down on western Cuba Wednesday morning. As of the 10 a.m. update, the National Hurricane Center noted it was “very likely” that Rafael could be a major hurricane by the time it strikes the island nation, which has recently been struggling with prolonged power outages.
