Cuba, Jamaica and Hurricane Melissa
Digest more
Hurricane Melissa made landfall Tuesday in Jamaica as a fearsome Category 5 storm. Forecasters said it could be the island's "storm of the century."
Missy Elliott, who collaborated with Kartel on 2005's "Bad Man," wrote, "Prayers up for everyone in Jamaica," on X, followed by several Jamaican flag and prayer hands emojis. When reminded to also pray for those in need in Cuba and Haiti, Eliott responded, "Absolutely."
Hurricane Melissa— one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes ever recorded—is now off Cuba’s eastern coast, after leaving a trail of destruction across the large island and its much smaller neighbor, Jamaica.
