Hurricane Melissa slammed into Jamaica on Tuesday with winds that topped 185 mph, bringing a powerful Category 5 storm to the island’s southwest coast. The eye of the hurricane focused on Treasure Beach, a small fishing community that now faces major damage from the ferocious wind and rain.
A live camera set up on the beach recorded the storm’s arrival. Viewers saw rain and debris blur the lens, with only broken palm trees and a twisted telephone pole peeking through the chaos. The footage captured the sheer force of the wind as it tore through the shoreline.
A tweet from RAW S Alerts hurriedly warned residents and travelers about the extreme winds, noting that the eye of the hurricane was directly overhead at Treasure Beach. “Listen as terrifying screams of extreme wind reaching 185+ mph tear through Treasure Beach,” the post read, underscoring the life‑threatening nature of the storm.
Emergency crews have started to assess damage and provide assistance, while authorities urge people in the hurricane’s path to seek shelter. The Caribbean region continues to monitor Hurricane Melissa’s trajectory and potential impact on nearby islands.
