Hurricane Melissa, which intensified to a powerful Category 5 storm early Monday — prompting warnings of intense flooding and devastation across the Caribbean, including Jamaica, Haiti and the southeastern Bahamas — made landfall in southwestern Jamaica on Tuesday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said.
With a maximum sustained wind speed of nearly 300 kilometres per hour, Melissa tied records for the strongest Atlantic storm on landfall.
Officials warned of devastating damage and urged residents to seek shelter as the storm moved across the island.
The storm is expected to move toward Cuba where authorities have prepared for potential evacuations. The storm has already caused seven deaths in the Caribbean.

All news plays the same single camera in Montego Bay, you don't deserve the title news. This channel is disaster click bait, disgusting.

Went down to a cat 3 just after passing Montego Bay. Now clearing an eye a second time and ramping up to cat 4 as it approaches Cuba. This is actually crazy. God help us all
999 🐍🕉👁🇨🇦🌙🐍This is merely the dawn, not the culmination. Nature has begun to balance the karmic scales. Soon the western and eastern edges of the United States and Canada will be struck by forces far greater in number and fury — fire, earth, water, air, and space converging into a perfect storm. The foundations of the capitalist world will tremble, and cities like Montreal and Vancouver will fade into memory, erased by the will of nature itself…
Global alliances? More like a high school clique with nukes. ��
Teacher hope you are ok
