Hurricane Melissa is strengthening rapidly, threatening catastrophic flooding in northern Caribbean
Tropical Storm Melissa has neared hurricane strength, threatening the northern Caribbean with potentially catastrophic rainfall, flooding and landslides.
Hurricane Melissa roared toward Jamaica with destructive Category 4 winds Monday and was expected to strengthen further before making landfall on the Caribbean nation with up to 30 inches (76 centimeters) of rain and a life-threatening storm surge.
A new tropical storm has formed over the central Caribbean. Melissa could strengthen later this week as it moves toward Haiti and Jamaica.
