Hurricane Melissa: Last Chance to Prepare

Hurricane Melissa: Last Chance to Prepare

Hurricane Melissa, an extraordinarily powerful and historic Category 5 storm, poses a catastrophic and life-threatening threat to Jamaica and the wider Caribbean. As of October 27, 2025, Melissa is intensifying south of Jamaica with maximum sustained winds of 175 mph, making it the third Category 5 hurricane of a season for only the second time on record. The storm is forecast to make landfall on Jamaica's southwestern coast late Monday night or early Tuesday as a devastating major hurricane, bringing catastrophic winds capable of causing total structural failure, extreme rainfall totals up to 40 inches leading to widespread flash flooding and landslides, and a life-threatening storm surge of up to 13 feet. The Jamaican government has issued mandatory evacuation orders for vulnerable areas and closed all air and sea ports. Officials are urgently appealing to residents to heed warnings and move to safety, emphasizing that survival is the prerequisite for recovery. Following its passage over Jamaica, the storm is projected to strike eastern Cuba, the southeastern Bahamas, and the Turks and Caicos Islands as a significant hurricane.
