New York Times: Hurricane Melissa has made landfall near New Hope on Jamaica’s southwestern coast as a Category 5 storm, bringing violent winds and significant risks for flash flooding from rain and storm surge as its pushes across the island throughout Tuesday. The hurricane had wind speeds of 185 m.p.h. when it made landfall at noon local time. But it was the storm’s creeping pace that raised fears among forecasters and government officials that saturating rains could set off flash flooding in narrow river valleys and cause deadly landslides in Jamaica’s steep, mountainous topography.
