Officials in Jamaica said Thursday that Hurricane Melissa ripped the roofs off 120,000 structures when it struck last week, affecting some 90,000 families in the island’s western region, in the latest tally of the storm's toll.
More than 180 shelters remain open, with 2,487 people living in them more than a week after the Category 5 storm made landfall, according to Alvin Gayle, director general of Jamaica’s emergency management office.
