The storm was expected to generate a storm surge of up to 12 feet and drop up to 20 inches of rain in places.

Hurricane Melissa has made landfall on Jamaica as the strongest storm to hit the island in the 174 years since records began. Melissa is a Category 5 storm with sustained wind speeds of 185 miles per hour.
