Grey skies, muted tides and a silent waterfront, Kingston sits in eerie calm this evening as Hurricane Melissa edges closer to Jamaica. The island remains under a Hurricane Warning, with Melissa now rapidly intensifying and expected to become a major hurricane by tomorrow. Winds have already increased to near 150 km/h (90 mph), with life-threatening rainfall, storm surge and flooding likely over the next few days. Downtown Kingston stands still — waiting. #HurricaneMelissa #StormUpdate #Kingston
