MELISSA HURRICANE HITS JAMAICA
In a statement from the U.S. National Hurricane Center, it was expressed that the speed of the Melissa Hurricane, which is moving in the Atlantic Ocean, has reached 295 kilometers per hour. The statement noted that the hurricane has struck the New Hope area in the southwest of Jamaica.
In the statement emphasizing that the hurricane is extremely dangerous and deadly, the public was urged not to leave their shelters until the hurricane loses its effect.
"THERE IS NO INFRASTRUCTURE THAT CAN WITHSTAND THE HURRICANE"
Desmond McKenzie, Vice President of the Jamaica Disaster Risk Management Council, also called on the public to enter shelters and not to leave their homes. Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness stated, "There is no infrastructure in the country that can withstand a Category 5 hurricane. The main issue is how quickly the recovery process will be."
Officials from the Jamaica Meteorological Service stated that all preparations have been made against Melissa, which is described as the strongest hurricane seen in the country since the 1850s, but that destructive effects are inevitable. In a statement made yesterday by the U.S. National Hurricane Center, it was reported that the intensity of the Melissa Hurricane has risen to the most dangerous level, classified as "Category 5".
