One of the most powerful storms in recent history, Hurricane Melissa, has left a trail of destruction across Jamaica, shattering homes, infrastructure, and livelihoods. The massive storm, described by experts as the most dangerous hurricane to ever hit the region, has reduced entire towns and villages to rubble.
According to foreign media reports, Hurricane Melissa tore through everything in its path — from small coastal settlements to major urban centers — leaving behind widespread devastation. Scenes of collapsed buildings, uprooted trees, and flooded streets now define the Caribbean island.
Authorities have yet to confirm the exact number of casualties, but early estimates suggest the loss of life may be limited. However, officials have maintained silence until a complete assessment is made.
Emergency workers and local residents are now working side by side to clear debris and restore some sense of normalcy. Many areas remain without electricity or internet, as power poles have been toppled and communication lines severed. Floodwaters still linger in several parts of the island, hampering rescue and cleanup efforts.
Meteorologists report that after unleashing its fury on Jamaica, Hurricane Melissa has weakened slightly to a Category 4 storm but continues to gain strength as it barrels toward Cuba, threatening further destruction.
Officials have urged residents in the storm’s projected path to remain on high alert and comply with evacuation orders as Melissa continues its deadly advance across the Caribbean.
