As Hurricane Melissa crosses over Jamaica with record-breaking winds and rain, these webcams show what happens as long as power holds out.

The storm caused widespread damage in Jamaica to infrastructure and cut internet access for most of its two million people. Cuba has evacuated about 750,000 people ahead of the storm.

Several live cam videos captured the storm's impacts as it barreled onshore on Tuesday. The brunt of the impacts is being felt in St. Elizabeth Parish, the southwestern part of the island, where Hurricane Melissa made landfall as a Category 5 storm.

Hurricane Melissa intensified into a Category 5 storm Monday as it drew closer to Jamaica, where forecasters expected it to unleash catastrophic flooding, landslides and widespread damage.

The Category 5 storm’s slow pace could have devastating effects when it makes landfall. Officials warned those in its path to seek shelter, saying, “This is not the time to be brave.”
