by The Right Scoop

Hurricane Melissa is making landfall in Jamaica as a ‘worst case scenario’ hurricane with maximum sustained winds of nearly 200mph.

Meteorologist Noah Bergren wrote this morning:

HORRIBLE: WORST CASE scenario is unfolding. Really, I am near a loss of words. “Last chance to protect your life at all costs” is the words from the NHC. Melissa is about to make landfall at its strongest intensity. A humanitarian disaster is about to unfold. The hurricane hunters detected 252 MPH gusts 300 feet off the ocean surface. 185 MPH max sustained winds and 220+ MPH gusts in the eyewall about to obliterate Black River area.

 
This is what the hurricane looked like up close as of yesterday from the U.S. Air Force Reserve’s 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron:

Massive eye walls.

Melissa has since begun making landfall and floodwaters were already bad as of an hour ago in Mandeville, Manchester, Jamaica:

I’m sure Franklin Graham’s organization is already packing to go. If there was one organization that I would say is very reputable and will actually use your donation to benefit the people who need it most, that would be it.

Also, any prayers for the people there in this tremendous time of need would be much appreciated, you can be sure.
