Hurricane Melissa bears down on Jamaica as its strongest storm in recorded history
Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm, is rapidly approaching Jamaica and Cuba, with both countries taking urgent precautions to mitigate flooding and landslides. Jamaican authorities are clearing drainage systems and urging evacuations, while Cuban officials are preparing to move over 600,000 people to shelters. The storm's slow speed could prolong dangerous conditions, affecting the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos later in the week.
