Hurricane Melissa is set to hit Jamaica with devastating windspeeds, 30" of rain and a storm surge. The Inigo Storm Prediction and Impact Research project uses the latest in computing and AI to understand how climate change affects the risk of hurricanes:

Inigo funds a three-year University of Cambridge program to enhance hurricane risk understanding through advanced computing and AI.
This footage from inside the eye of Category 5 Hurricane Melissa might be the most jaw-dropping video ever captured of a hurricane’s eye, showcasing the infamous “stadium effect."
