Hurricane Melissa hit Jamaica on Tuesday with the strength of a Category 5 storm bringing 185 mph winds, torrential rain and flooding. It also made landfall in Cuba early Wednesday as an “extremely dangerous” Category 3 hurricane.
It is one of the strongest storms to ever hit the region and could “reshape Jamaica for years to come.”
