Hurricane Melissa has made a landfall in Jamaica with high winds killing people in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. It is the strongest storm to hit the Caribbean island in modern history and for a population living in vulnerable coastal areas the threat is real. The ‘slow’ storm was travelling towards the island at less than five miles an hour, but within it strenghtening winds and huge amounts of rainfall. #Jamaica #HurricanMelissa #Storm #Weather #Caribbean | Channel 4 News
