摘要

飓风梅丽莎是一场风速达185英里/小时的五级风暴,已在牙买加登陆,造成灾难性破坏并引发大规模疏散。

飓风梅丽莎于周二作为五级风暴在牙买加登陆,带来每小时185英里的风速和威胁生命的洪水,袭击了这个岛国。

风暴于美国东部时间下午1点左右在新希望附近登陆,成为大西洋盆地有记录以来最强烈的飓风登陆事件之一。

总理安德鲁·霍尔尼斯强调了此次事件的前所未有,表示:“该地区没有任何基础设施能够承受五级飓风。现在的问题是恢复的速度。这就是挑战。”

牙买加灾害风险管理委员会副主席德斯蒙德·麦肯齐敦促居民寻找避难所并留在室内,他说:“牙买加,现在不是勇敢的时候。”

这场飓风已被指责导致加勒比地区七人死亡,其中牙买加三人,海地三人,多米尼加共和国一人。

预计梅丽莎将继续向古巴方向移动,古巴已下令近90万人撤离。

牙买加的恢复和清理工作正在进行中,官员们警告说,由于风暴的严重性,损害评估将会缓慢。
