Hurricane Melissa, potentially the worst storm to ever hit the Caribbean, has made landfall in Jamaica.
The “life-threatening” hurricane is expected to bring up to 40in (101cm) of rainfall to some parts of Jamaica, according to the US National Hurricane Center (NHC), as well as destructive winds of 160mph (260 kph) and the risk of major flooding. Cuba and the Bahamas are also forecast to be in Melissa’s path.
