YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe National Hurricane Center says the top-of-the-scale Hurricane Melissa continues to strengthen just hours before it is expected to slam into Jamaica, with top sustained winds at 185 mph. Forecasters say it’s approaching Jamaica’s southern coast, where leaders have pleaded with people to get to shelters.
