A fast developing storm was expected to bring “unprecedented” amounts of rain to several countries, meteorologists said.
Melissa is forecast to rapidly intensify into a major hurricane and bring life-threatening rainfall, landslides and storm surge to Jamaica, Haiti and elsewhere.
Tropical Storm Melissa could become a dangerous hurricane in the Caribbean over the coming days. Meanwhile, a long-duration lake-effect rain event is unfolding across the Great Lakes.
