Hurricane Melissa Devastates Caribbean

Hurricane Melissa, a catastrophic Category 5 storm, has caused significant devastation across the Caribbean. The hurricane made landfall in Jamaica, unleashing catastrophic winds and leaving the island's infrastructure severely damaged, stranding tourists, and causing at least 30 deaths. Following its rapid intensification, Melissa impacted Cuba and the Bahamas before weakening slightly. Evacuations were ordered in Jamaica's capital, and the storm's aftermath poses a long recovery for the island's resorts and ports. As Melissa moves north, Bermuda and Newfoundland are on high alert. Efforts to aid affected regions are underway, with calls for donations to support recovery efforts.
