Hurricane Melissa Causes Widespread Devastation Across the Caribbean

Hurricane Melissa has left a trail of destruction throughout Jamaica, Haiti, and Cuba. As a Category 5 storm, it made landfall in Jamaica, resulting in severe flooding and numerous casualties, with reports of at least 30 fatalities. Satellite images and drone footage reveal catastrophic damage in Jamaican towns and cities. The storm then moved toward Cuba as a Category 3 hurricane, further exacerbating the devastation in the region. Amid this crisis, many communities are left without power, and various aid organizations, including the Red Cross, have mobilized to assist recovery efforts. The situation continues to evolve as Hurricane Melissa now heads towards Bermuda, raising concerns about further impacts in the Atlantic.
