Hurricane Melissa hit Jamaica with 185 mph winds as it made landfall. The storm tied for the most intense at landfall with a minimum pressure of 892 mb and ranks near the top for all-time storms in the Atlantic Basin. Sending prayers for safety and recovery. 🙏🏾 @kmbc9.bsky.social
🌀 Hurricane Melissa now ranks in the top-10 most-intense hurricanes in the Atlantic Basin. The storm was so powerful that the Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft team had to end their reconnaissance flight early due to severe turbulence! @kmbc9.bsky.social

I hope your September is off to a great start! Fall begins in just three weeks, and this month we lose daylight faster than at any other time of the year. @kmbc9.bsky.social
