It should be noted when it comes to #Melissa, it’s landfall intensity is preliminary and unofficial. The NHC noted in their recent advisory that post-season analysis will be key to determining where it stands all time, for now it is the joint-strongest landfilling hurricane ever.

- #Melissa is about to tie the strongest Atlantic hurricane landfall in history. We are witnessing a record that has stood for 90 years about to be tied. Remarkable. Praying for Jamaica.
- I mean, this is one of the most remarkable satellite appearances I have ever seen.
- Based on recon data, pretty clear #Melissa has started to track further north and it seems like it’s not stopped intensifying just such an unfortunate situation unfolding in Jamaica.
