Kapital FM 92.9 The Station that Rocks!
Three people have already died in Jamaica as it braces for the world’s strongest storm this year – and possibly the strongest on record for the island – with US meteorologists warning of “catastrophic and life-threatening” conditions.
With wind speeds of up to 175mph (282km/h), Hurricane Melissa is a category five storm – the maximum strength. It is intensifying and expected to make landfall on the Caribbean island early on Tuesday.
It has been blamed for four deaths in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, in addition to the lives lost in Jamaica.
Experts warn that Melissa’s slow pace may mean prolonged torrential rain in some areas, increasing the risk of deadly flooding and landslides.
