飓风梅丽莎以5级风暴袭击牙买加，造成广泛破坏
摘要
飓风梅丽莎以5级风暴强度登陆牙买加，带来灾难性风力和强降雨，导致重大损失和大规模停电。
飓风梅丽莎于周二以5级风暴强度登陆牙买加，带来灾难性风力和强降雨。风暴袭击了西南海岸的新希望附近，持续风速达到185英里每小时，使其成为有记录以来袭击该岛最强大的飓风之一。
这场飓风造成了广泛的破坏，包括影响超过50万人口的停电、医院受损、倒塌的树木、山体滑坡以及严重的洪水。总理安德鲁·霍尔尼斯表示：“该地区没有任何基础设施能够承受5级飓风。现在的问题是恢复的速度，这就是挑战。”
梅丽莎在登陆后略有减弱，风速降至130英里每小时，归类为4级风暴。预计当它靠近古巴东部时将重新增强，预计周三凌晨以强飓风强度登陆。
这场风暴与加勒比海异常温暖的海水有关，这一趋势与气候变化相关。梅丽莎是今年大西洋第四个经历快速增强的风暴，增加了应急准备和预报的难度。
古巴当局已疏散超过70万人以应对风暴来袭。预计该飓风周三晚些时候仍将作为飓风影响巴哈马东南部或中部地区。
该风暴已导致加勒比地区7人死亡，包括牙买加3人、海地3人和多米尼加共和国1人。
卫生部长克里斯托弗·塔夫顿提到，一些病人已从一楼转移到二楼，“希望这能应对可能出现的水位上涨。”
美国国务院发布了针对古巴、牙买加、海地和巴哈马的自然灾害旅行警报，敦促美国公民在航班仍可用时考虑离开，或准备就地避难。
