Jamaica looks to have Hurricane Melissa, a possible Cat. 5 storm, for several days.

[MushroomX]

TL:DR: Hurricane Melissa is poised to become a Cat. 4 tomorrow, dumping 30 to 60 inches of rain, and then run through Jamaica on Monday, Cuba on Tues and Bahamas on Wednesday.

Hurricane forecasts say Melissa could be a 'slow-motion disaster'

Hurricane conditions could last for three days straight in some places, AccuWeather lead hurricane expert Alex DaSilva warned.

A slow moving storm is devastating

Jamaicans don’t take hurricanes seriously tho, I hope they take heed this time.

30 to 60 inches of rainfall?


I hope it weakens. That much rain on a small island like that would be devastating.

Holy shyt

That will flood Jamaica.
They better get up in the hills.
Beautiful island but probably won't be a tourist hotspot for a few years if that happens.

My sister's mom says she hasn't experienced anything like this in 20 odd years.

Hurricanes are horrifying and fascinating. I admit I watch the live feeds whenever I'm able.

It's the unpredictability for me. The way Harvey just decided to make a U turn and fukk up Houston twice was crazy.

Then Helene saying "fukk it" and completely destroyed all the hillbillies in NC was something to be seen.
