Hurricane Melissa is making its way across Cuba as a Category 2 storm, a day after making landfall in Jamaica as one of the region’s strongest storms on record.

Authorities in Haiti said at least 25 people, including children, have been killed. In Jamaica, eight deaths have been confirmed, while one fatality has been reported in the Dominican Republic, bringing the current known death toll across the Caribbean to 34. Cuba has yet to report casualties but has suffered widespread destruction.

Hurricane Melissa made landfall in southwest Jamaica this week near the coastal town of Black River, which the government has described as “ground zero.”
