Hurricane Melissa, a powerful category five storm, is the worst storm in the country’s history. Many are comparing Hurricane Melissa to Hurricane Charlie (1951) and Hurricane Gilbert (1988), which were two of Jamaica’s most catastrophic hurricanes. Melissa has had an even more devastating impact than Charlie and Gilbert, with extensive damage on the western side of the island and several persons have lost their lives.
