飓风梅丽莎加强，对牙买加和海地构成严重威胁
摘要
飓风梅丽莎迅速增强，随着其逼近，牙买加和海地发布警告，可能引发灾难性洪水和山体滑坡。
飓风梅丽莎在加勒比地区迅速增强，目前对牙买加和海地构成重大威胁。美国国家飓风中心（NHC）报告称，梅丽莎预计将加强为大型飓风，可能在下周初达到四级飓风强度。截至周六，该风暴位于牙买加金斯敦东南约130英里处，持续风速为每小时90英里，缓慢向西移动，速度为每小时3英里。
牙买加总理安德鲁·霍尔尼斯敦促民众做好准备，他表示：“我敦促所有同胞，现在是准备的时候。”他强调整个岛屿将受到多日影响。
国家飓风中心已对牙买加发布飓风警告，并对海地部分地区及古巴发布飓风观察。梅丽莎的缓慢移动增加了持续强降雨的风险，预测牙买加降雨量可达25英寸，海地提布龙半岛降雨量可能高达35英寸。这引发了对受影响地区灾难性山洪暴发和山体滑坡的担忧。
牙买加当局已关闭机场，开放避难所，并预置了应急物资。在海地，风暴已导致人员受伤和死亡，并有山体滑坡及基础设施损坏的报告。
预计路径上的居民被建议保持信息通畅，采取必要的防范措施，应对飓风梅丽莎的来袭。
