Hurricane Rafael has made landfall in western Cuba. Maximum sustained winds remain near 115 mph.
Rafael will move northwest tonight before turning more west and stalling out (and weakening!) into the weekend.
At this point, no significant impacts expected for AL or NW FL. pic.twitter.com/cvxj9AZ2Ab
