The US Border Patrol said that 20 migrants were missing after their boat capsized, but the US Coast Guard rescued three others and four Cubans made it to shore in the Florida Keys by swimming.

Forecasters predicted a once-in-a-generation disaster as hurricane conditions grew. The director of the National Weather Service, Ken Graham, said,...
