Hurricane Melissa strengthened into a Category 4 storm on Sunday, unleashing torrential rain and threatening to bring catastrophic flooding to the northern Caribbean.
Plus, stray dogs become a focal point in India’s capital, and an Aaron Rodgers reunion on “Sunday Night Football.”
The intensity of a hurricane is measured by its maximum sustained wind speed, and when that speed increases by at least 35 miles per hour in a 24-hour period — or roughly two categories on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale — meteorologists call that “rapid intensification.”
Jamaica and other countries impacted by Hurricane Melissa will be getting help from organizations right here in South Florida.
