Hurricane Melissa tore through Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba and the Bahamas, killing dozens and forcing hundreds of thousands to flee their homes. Entire neighbourhoods flooded, buildings collapsed, and widespread power outages left communities cut off as rescue teams struggled to reach survivors. Jamaica and Haiti suffered significant casualties, with homes submerged and families reporting missing loved ones. Cuba evacuated over 735,000 people as strong winds and floods damaged farmland and infrastructure. Meteorologists said the storm rapidly intensified due to unusually warm Caribbean waters, a trend scientists link to climate change. Experts warn storms like Melissa may become more frequent and more destructive.
