Tropical Storm Melissa Intensifies, Threatening Jamaica and Haiti with Severe Weather

Tropical Storm Melissa is rapidly intensifying and is expected to strengthen into a major hurricane within days, posing a significant threat to the Caribbean, particularly Jamaica and Haiti. Forecasters warn of catastrophic flash flooding and landslides as the storm brings heavy rains to the region. With at least three fatalities reported in Haiti due to landslides, and more rain on the way, the situation is becoming increasingly dire. Models predict that Melissa could reach Category 4 status, while its unpredictable path raises concerns about potential impacts on Florida as well. Experts emphasize the dangerous slow movement of the storm across the Caribbean, which increases the risk of widespread flooding. As the storm continues to develop, regions are being put on high alert due to its potential for devastating effects.
