La Habana. La tormenta tropical Laura, que podría convertirse en huracán este martes, atravesaba este lunes el oeste de Cuba, luego de causar al menos 24 muertos en Haití y República Dominicana, y debe tomar rumbo en breve hacia Estados Unidos, que ya está bajo amenaza del debilitado ciclón Marco.

Laura ocasiona lluvias y penetraciones del mar en territorio cubano, sin que se reporten grandes daños, aunque aún amenaza con adelantarse a los pronósticos y subir a categoría de huracán antes de dejar la isla.
