Script:
This firsthand video from a Jamaican resort balcony, filmed by Scott, shows palm trees bending under 60–70 mph gusts and intermittent rain bands as Hurricane Melissa approaches on October 26, 2025.
Upgraded to a Category 4 storm with sustained winds of 140 mph, Melissa is forecast to strike Jamaica as potentially the island’s strongest recorded hurricane, with the National Hurricane Center and NOAA warning of catastrophic flooding, mudslides, and prolonged hurricane-force conditions.
Posted by UK visitor @CelestialTeal amid hotel lockdown and rationing preparations, the update captures personal anxiety and resilience as Jamaica braces for impact.
