Jamaica: No stranger to powerful hurricanes
Hurricane Melissa devastated much of the infrastructure in the island nation, which often experiences the impacts of Atlantic hurricanes. Now, the process of recovery begins.
How Hurricane Melissa exploded into a monster
The Category 5 storm, which left a trail of destruction across the Caribbean, stunned forecasters and meteorologists, achieving extreme rapid intensification as well as a never-before-recorded wind speed near the ocean surface. University of Miami tropical cyclone experts explain how it happened.
Flying into the heart of Melissa
Tropical cyclone scientist Jun Zhang has deployed drones into the potentially catastrophic Hurricane Melissa, aiding forecasters and amassing data that will help in future storm models.
