Hurricane Melissa intensified to Category 5 strength as it approached Jamaica, bringing winds of 260 km/h (160 mph) and up to 1 meter (40 inches) of rain. The slow-moving storm was located southwest of Kingston and is expected to make landfall late Monday or early Tuesday.

Authorities ordered evacuations in low-lying areas including Port Royal, opened nearly 900 shelters, and closed both international airports. Officials warned of “catastrophic” flash floods and landslides.
