Hurricane Melissa’s power, endurance and ability to overcome obstacles stunned meteorologists. Here’s what to know.

Hurricane Melissa has rapidly intensified into a Category 5 storm due to warming oceans linked to climate change.

The National Hurricane Center's 1 p.m. Thursday update reported that Category 2 Hurricane Melissa is in the Atlantic Ocean, 605 miles southwest of Bermuda and 295 miles northeast of the Central Bahamas. The hurricane is moving north-northeast at 21 mph, with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph.

At least 34 people are reported to have died, including 10 children, following Hurricane Melissa’s wreckage in Jamaica, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Cuba. The storm hit Jamaica as a Category 5 and continued on its path across the Atlantic Ocean,

Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica with record-tying 185 mph winds, and its strength defied typical weakening factors.

A storm's strong winds and high waves pummeled a Buxton neighborhood Tuesday where dozens of houses have been deemed uninhabitable.

Fort Lauderdale Ocean Rescue said the conditions aren't safe for most swimmers this weekend, attributing the rough current to Hurricane Melissa, which is ripping through the Caribbean.

Forecasters say Tropical Storm Lorenzo has weakened as it churns over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean and is not threatening land.

Hotter-than-average Caribbean water made Hurricane Melissa stronger and wetter. Its part of a trend that scientists link back to climate change.
