“Hurricane Melissa rapidly intensified into a potentially catastrophic storm in the Caribbean overnight, U.S. forecasters warned early Sunday. The U.S. National Hurricane Centre reported Melissa had maximum sustained winds of 220 km/h, reaching Category 4 status on the Saffir-Simpson wind scale. Melissa is expected to continue intensifying throughout the day, the Miami-based forecaster said, predicting the storm will make landfall in Jamaica Monday night or Tuesday morning. … The erratic and slow-moving storm has killed at least three people in Haiti and a fourth person in the Dominican Republic, where another person remains missing.” (10/26/25)
