Script:
This firsthand video from Sandals Whitehouse resort, filmed by Leonardo Z Viera, captures the dramatic approach of Hurricane Melissa on October 28, 2025. Fierce winds hurl debris across the pool area while torrential rain turns the view into a chaotic blur. The filmer, speaking in Portuguese, likens the surreal scene to a “snow globe.”
Melissa, a powerful Category 4 storm packing winds of 185 mph, made landfall near Whitehouse the following day, unleashing Jamaica’s worst hurricane devastation this century — with at least four fatalities, widespread flooding, and towns left in ruins.
