Melissa sets its sights on the Bahamas and Bermuda after its historic Category 5 landfall in Jamaica and major hurricane lashing in eastern Cuba. Here's the very latest forecast and recap, so far.
Hurricane Melissa is delivering a devastating blow to thousands of Haitians already suffering. Gang violence has forced many families out of their homes and onto the streets of Port-Au-Prince and the western Les Cayes region. Now flooding and landslides from the hurricane have put those makeshift shelters in peril and that has left many residents feeling powerless.
Jamaica is an island nation accustomed to hurricane dangers but most have never experienced a hurricane as powerful and dangerous as Melissa. This hurricane will make landfall as a Category 5 and that has many Jamaicans taking this storm seriously, preparing for the worst and warning other residents to do the same.
