Jamaica is preparing for Hurricane Melissa, the world’s strongest storm this year, now a Category Five hurricane. The storm has already killed three people in Jamaica and four in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Winds are reaching 175 mph, and up to 40 inches of rain are expected. The government has ordered evacuations from low-lying areas, closed schools, and shut airports. Officials warn of life-threatening floods, landslides, and power cuts. Meteorologists say no one in Jamaica has lived through a storm of this strength. Shelters have opened across the country as residents brace for impact. (PC: BBC)
