Hurricane Melissa, after striking Jamaica as a catastrophic Category 5 storm, is now back over open water off the east coast of Cuba and heading toward the central Bahamas. Expect heavy rainfall -- up to 20 inches in eastern Cuba, and another 10+ inches as it moves into the Bahamas. Flooding remains a serious threat. Melissa has already carved a trail of destruction from Haiti and Jamaica to Cuba. The storm’s next target: The Bahamas, where conditions will worsen before the system weakens. #HurricaneMelissa #CaribbeanStorm #Bahamas #Cuba #Jamaica #Flooding #StormUpdate #WeatherAlert Subscribe to First Coast News for more: youtube.com/channel/UCJCdiZtw9zStiR3xgnp7qlg Visit Site: firstcoastnews.com Follow First Coast News on Social: Facebook: facebook.com/FirstCoastNews Twitter: twitter.com/FCN2go Instagram: instagram.com/firstcoastnews First Coast News is based in Jacksonville, Florida.
