Hurricane Melissa is approaching Jamaica, bringing heavy rain and strong winds. Authorities warn of flash flooding as the slow-moving storm nears landfall — the strongest since records began in 1851. Residents are boarding up homes and stocking supplies, while supermarkets run empty. Neighboring countries like the Dominican Republic face torrential rains and landslides, with communities cut off and resupplied by drones.
