6:16Now PlayingWhole areas of Jamaica are under water after the Caribbean nation was battered by 185mph winds from Hurricane Melissa - with the historic storm now barrelling towards Cuba.
The parish of St Elizabeth on the southwestern coast is now under water, a local government minister has said after infrastructure was "severely compromised".
The entire nation has been declared a disaster area because of the storm which made landfall at 2pm local time as a Category 5 Hurricane.
