Tropical Storm Melissa heads to Caribbean islands



All eyes are still on Tropical Storm Melissa as it continues to swirl in the Caribbean. FOX 13 Meteorologist Nash Rhodes said the storm is weakening but will gain strength over the next few days and become a major hurricane. Rhodes said it is unclear where exactly Melissa will go next, but tropical storm watches are up for portions of the Caribbean Islands. Rhodes says there is the potential for damaging flash flooding and mudslides due to a large amount of rain falling over a short period of time. He added that Melissa will take a turn to the north and east, away from the United States.

  1. Here in the southeast of Haiti we have gusts of wind at 20-30 miles. I had to close all doors as even my kitchen wares were blown to the floos! And it has supposedly left us. Its winds and rain from Jacmel/Marigot.

  2. If people won’t stop buying houses in Florida, then Hurricanes will. I pray it’ll grow into a Cat 10 hurricane and hit Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas. We need it to slow down the housing market and the economy. A massive recession is the only cure for inflation.

  3. En varias ocasiones oímos el ojo del uracan viene el ojo de Ramírez se va pero yo no creo que se repita un uracan, ¿Será la falla de San Andrés? The next Will be someting for great juquvery
