Why This Hurricane Could Be Jamaica’s Worst in a Generation

Jamaica is bracing for what could become a catastrophic multi-day hurricane assault as Hurricane Melissa rapidly intensifies over record-breaking Caribbean heat. Already brushing parts of Jamaica and Haiti, Melissa is expected to explode into a Category 4 storm or stronger by Sunday — bringing devastating winds, torrential rain, and life-threatening floods.

With the storm moving slower than walking speed, rainfall could pile up for days, triggering massive landslides, widespread power outages, and severe infrastructure damage. Public hospitals are already in emergency mode, and airports may shut down within 24 hours.

This video breaks down what makes Melissa so dangerous, why its slow movement is so alarming, and what Jamaica and the surrounding islands could face in the days ahead.
