Dangerous Category 5 Hurricane Melissa on path for Jamaica: Latest updates

Melissa is now a dangerous category 5 major hurricane. Melissa is expected to make landfall in Jamaica early tomorrow morning as a category 5, something no hurricane has done in Jamaican history. The slow movement of this storm will cause flooding to Jamaica along with days of prolonged winds. Jamaica could be in for catastrophic flooding with up to 3 feet of rain and storm surge up to 13 feet east of the center at landfall. Melissa is then expected to roll over eastern Cuba late Tuesday into early Wednesday, still maintaining that major hurricane status. Then it will quickly move over the Southeastern Bahamas Wednesday before reaching Bermuda likely by Friday. Hurricane Melissa is no threat to the United States.
