Tropical Storm Oscar chugged toward the Bahamas on Tuesday after making landfall in Cuba as a Category 1 hurricane, killing at least six people as it unleashed heavy rains on an island also hit by an unrelated massive power outage.

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

Hurricane Oscar has formed near the Bahamas, according to the National Hurricane Center's 2 p.m. update on Saturday.
