飓风梅丽莎袭击古巴，继摧毁牙买加后
摘要
飓风梅丽莎在牙买加创纪录地以五级飓风登陆后，现以三级飓风影响古巴东部，促使大规模疏散并发出严重破坏警告。
飓风梅丽莎于周三凌晨以三级飓风强度登陆古巴东部，此前曾以创纪录的五级飓风强度袭击牙买加。古巴当局在风暴来临前疏散了超过73.5万居民，古巴总统米格尔·迪亚斯-卡内尔敦促民众保持警惕。气象预报员警告圣地亚哥-德古巴及周边地区可能遭受灾难性破坏。
在牙买加，梅丽莎的185英里每小时风速造成了广泛破坏，包括影响超过50万人次的停电和严重的结构损坏。总理安德鲁·霍尔内斯承认了广泛的破坏，并强调国家致力于重建工作。
预计风暴将于周三晚些时候继续向巴哈马方向移动，伴随大雨和潜在的山洪暴发警告。美国国家飓风中心已建议风暴路径上的居民采取必要的预防措施。
梅丽莎从热带风暴迅速增强为五级飓风的过程，与异常温暖的海洋温度有关，这一现象被认为与气候变化有关。这种快速增强增加了预报和应急规划的难度。
