The most intense hurricane in Jamaica’s recorded history, Hurricane Melissa, just ripped the roof clean off of Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay. Newly released footage shows water absolutely gushing into the terminal like a catastrophic, indoor waterfall. It’s a terrifying look at the sheer power of this storm, which has been appropriately nicknamed “The Storm of the Century” by officials, and it shows you exactly why the entire island nation has been declared a disaster area.
You really have to see the video to believe it. This isn’t just a few leaks; the entire roof structure over a large section of the terminal building completely caved in, leaving a massive, open hole in the ceiling. First found by TMZ, the footage captures the moment when a torrent of rain, driven by those incredible winds, transformed the bustling airport terminal, the very space where families and vacationers once gathered to check in or wait for their flights, into a rapidly flooding zone.
