Déjà trois morts en Jamaïque à l’approche de l'ouragan Melissa
Hurricane Melissa, which could be the most violent storm to hit Jamaica and has already claimed several lives, is set to hit the Caribbean country on Tuesday, where it threatens to cause catastrophic flooding and landslides.
With winds of up to 280 kilometers per hour, the Category 5 hurricane, the highest in strength, has already caused three deaths in Jamaica, three in Haiti and one in the Dominican Republic.
"Do not go outside," insists the American hurricane center (NHC), which anticipates "potentially deadly" gusts, flooding and devastation on a scale comparable to that caused by hurricanes Maria in 2017 or Katrina in 2005, in Puerto Rico and New Orleans.
Three people died in Jamaica while preparing for the hurricane, cutting branches and working on ladders, according to local authorities on Monday.
