this is looking to be so disastrous! stay safe #Jamaica
Hurricanes are getting so intense, scientists propose a Category 6. #Melissa Since 2013, five tropical cyclones would have been category 6 - if the traditional hurricane scale didn’t stop at 5. Unlike the Richter earthquake scale and the Celsius scale. https://t.co/s4KFoznjtI

Hurricane Melissa - the strongest storm to strike Jamaica in 174 years, with winds of 175 miles per hour and the power to dump 40 inches of rain on a nation of three million souls - is not a natural disaster. It is a crime scene. It is climate disaster
