No food. No water. No shelter. That's a reality many Jamaicans are facing one week after Hurricane Melissa's devastating landfall.
Hurricane Melissa was grinding across Cuba on Wednesday as a Category 2 storm after pummeling Jamaica as one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record.
At 892 mb, Melissa is the most intense landfalling Atlantic storm since the infamous 1935 "Labor Day" hurricane. Wind gusts approaching 220 mph are among the strongest *ever* recorded on Earth.
In total, 24 homes have been lost to the surf along this fragile stretch of coastline since 2020.
Jamaican residents and tourists trapped on the island are bracing for what will be the strongest storm to make landfall in the island nationβs 63-year history.
Hurricane Melissa strengthened into a Category 5 - the highest designation on the Saffir-Simpson scale - early Monday morning and is packing 160 mph core winds as it closes within 24 hours of making landfall in Jamaica.
Outdoor burning is highly discouraged Wednesday to prevent accidental wildfires. Gusty winds, low relative humidity and ongoing drought conditions are leading to an increased fire danger.
