Jamaica declared a disaster area after Hurricane Melissa leaves over half a million without power

The historic landfall of Hurricane Melissa over Jamaica on October 28, 2025, has left behind a trail of destruction, prompting authorities to declare the island a disaster area on October 29. Over half a million people were left without power as Melissa ripped through the island. While some fatalities have been reported in Jamaica, official confirmation is yet to be made. #weather #Jamaica #disaster #Hurricane #Melissa

Cut Bank had wind gusts of 75 mph on Wednesday. You'd have to TRIPLE that, AND add 16 mph to equal the 241 mph gust from Hurricane Melissa last night. We have more wind coming, but not THAT strong.

HURRICANE DEVASTATION

ST ELIZABETH, Jamaica — Mayor of Black River, Richard Solomon, says the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa in St Elizabeth is nothing short of “catastrophic”, as the parish is faced with severe damage and limited communication.

“The conditions here are devastating, catastrophic is a mild term based on what we are observing,” Solomon said

Good evening. It's 6PM, Wednesday, 29th October. The headlines: #Hurricane #Melissa, #Jamaica's most severe on record, has battered #Cuba following widespread destruction and power cuts affecting 77% of Jamaica. Israeli air raids in #Gaza have resulted in at least 104 fatalities. As Melissa struck Cuba, over three-quarters of a million were evacuated. #BBC #News

Eyes on The Bahamas today. However, #Bermuda now under a #Hurricane Warning. #Melissa will be picked up by a cold front from the north pushing it towards Bermuda Thursday. A chance of intensification but strong wind shear and the cold front interaction could hinder strengthening.

Anders Levermann vom @PIK_climate erklärt via @tagesschau warum #Hurricane (und andere Stürme) aufgrund der #KlimaKrise in ihrer Wirkung verheerender werden: https://wisskomm.social/@PIK_climate/115458633376359189

Als internationale Gemeinschaft verzocken wir Menschen aktuell unsere LebensQualität. wenn nicht gar die Chance aufs Überleben (siehe #Jamaika). Mittlerweile haben wir sieben der neun planetaren Grenzen überschritten. Wir können noch etwas ändern. Doch das braucht sofortiges Handeln.

OPSGROUP:

"XCAR/Caribbean Hurricane Melissa is now moving over eastern Cuba as a Cat 2 storm, with sustained winds of 90 kts. Several airports in the region remain closed: MKJP/Kingston and MKJS/Montego Bay in Jamaica; MUCU/Santiago de Cuba and MUHG/Holguin in Cuba; MYSM/San Salvador, MYCB/Cat Island, and MYEF/Exuma in the Bahamas. MYNN/Nassau has closed one of its runways, but the airport should stay open as it remains outside the forecast track for the storm, but some weather impacts and delays are likely. "
