Hurricane Melissa has unleashed catastrophic destruction across the Caribbean. The Category 5 storm tore through Jamaica and by the time reached Cuba, it turned into a Category 3 storm leaving entire towns underwater and millions without power. Winds up to 185 mph ripped off roofs, flooded hospitals, and destroyed farmlands as thousands fled in terror. Cuban authorities evacuated 735,000 people before the storm made landfall near Chivirico. Melissa’s wrath has left at least 7 dead across the region, with more feared missing. The Caribbean faces one of its worst hurricanes in decades, and the nightmare isn’t over — as Melissa heads for the Bahamas, forecasters warn of more devastation ahead.

The Atlantic is roiling as Hurricanes Imelda and Humberto stir up dangerous conditions across the region. Imelda has strengthened as it slices past the Southeast U.S. coast, bringing heavy rain, high winds, and turbulent seas. Bermuda is now in the storm’s crosshairs, facing potential hurricane impacts within the next 24 to 36 hours. Imelda recently struck the Bahamas with heavy rainfall and wind gusts reaching 44 mph at Nassau, while turning east to keep the strongest winds off the Southeast U.S. coast. Meanwhile, both storms generate high surf, rip currents, and localized coastal flooding from the Carolinas to Florida. Forecasts suggest Imelda may reach a high-end Category 1, with some models even approaching Category 2 near Bermuda. WATCH

Tropical Depression Nine has strengthened into Tropical Storm Imelda off the Bahamas, prompting watches along Florida’s east coast. Forecasts indicate heavy rains, gusty winds, and dangerous swells could impact Florida, the Bahamas, and parts of the Southeast U.S. through Sunday and Monday. Florida’s east coast from Palm Beach to the Flagler-Volusia line is under a tropical storm watch, with rainfall expected to reach up to five inches, while life-threatening rip currents and dangerous swells threaten beaches along the U.S. East Coast. The Bahamas, particularly Eleuthera and Abaco, are bracing for 6-8 inches of rain and winds near 45 mph as Imelda strengthens over the Atlantic. WATCH
