Hurricane Melissa, essentially the most highly effective hurricane of the yr up to now, has hit Cuba after ripping by way of Jamaica. The Category 5 hurricane, which has now been downgraded, has left a path of destruction in Jamaica, with Prime Minister Andrew Holness saying it "ravaged" the nation.
Sky’s science correspondent Thomas Moore mentioned Hurricane Melissa is "only the second or third powerful hurricane in recorded Atlantic history".
He provides that "735,000 people have been moved out of harm’s way" in Cuba, with as much as 50cm of rain simply right now which may trigger landslides and additional harm.
