Summary

- Rental home in Jamaica's St. Ann's Parish sustains major damage, balcony collapses
- Dozens killed across Haiti, Jamaica, and Cuba as powerful Category 5 storm hits
On October 30, 2025, a Fox Weather crew reporting on Hurricane Melissa from Jamaica found themselves in the midst of the powerful storm's destruction. The crew was forced to flee from the top floor of their rental home in St. Ann's Parish as the Category 5 hurricane-force winds shattered the windows and caused the balcony to collapse.
Fox Weather correspondent Robert Ray described the scene as "literally unraveling," with shards of glass from the broken sliding doors strewn across the floor. The crew had to maneuver through the debris and water to reach the ground floor, where they took shelter.
The hurricane has left a trail of devastation across the Caribbean, with dozens killed in Haiti, Jamaica, and Cuba. In Jamaica, more than 70% of the population was left without power as of October 31st. The government has mobilized relief efforts, but recovery is expected to take time.
As of October 30th, Hurricane Melissa was moving towards the Bahamas, with the storm's center forecast to pass just west of Bermuda by late Thursday. The hurricane's impacts continue to be felt across the region.
