Hurricane Melissa is taking aim on eastern Cuba on Wednesday, even as its fringes continue to affect Jamaica. Melissa is forecast to weaken slightly but still be a powerful major hurricane as it crosses eastern Cuba and then moves through portions of the Bahamas. There are hurricane warnings in effect for Jamaica, eastern Cuba (including Las Tunas province), and there is now a hurricane watch for Bermuda, which can expect impacts from Melissa on Thursday into Friday. Melissa had maximum sustained winds estimated at 185 miles per hour at landfall in Jamaica early Tuesday afternoon, making it the strongest hurricane since the early 1850s, when reliable hurricane records began. It is likely to take several days for a full assessment of the damage that Melissa has caused in Jamaica — but there’s little doubt that the recovery will take a long time.
