Entire communities in Jamaica demolished or isolated by direct hit from Hurricane Melissa: Officials
At first light on Wednesday, the coastal communities of southwestern Jamaica bore the devastation of being in the direct path of Hurricane Melissa.
Parts of the Caribbean began surveying the damage caused by the deadly Hurricane Melissa, which made landfall in Jamaica as a powerful Category 5.
Brian Trascher, Louisiana national vice president of the United Cajun Navy, said this devastation reminds him of storms like Katrina, which is why he sent his team to help victims on the island.
In the wake of destruction caused by Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica, Caribbean immigration advocates in New York are urging United States (US) President Donald Trump to protect Jamaicans in New York by granting them Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
Jamaicans in the UK have said they are "worried" about their friends and family as Hurricane Melissa makes landfall in the country. Forecasters believe the storm could be the strongest hurricane ever to hit Jamaica,
