HURRICANE MELISSA (2025)
Melissa's strongest maximum sustained winds were found to have reached 190 mph, tying 1980's Hurricane Allen for the strongest sustained winds on record for any Atlantic Basin hurricane. Hours later, it tied 2019's Dorian and the 1935 Labor Day hurricane for strongest Atlantic Basin landfall by wind speed when it slammed into Jamaica with 185 mph maximum sustained winds. Storm surge inundation from 7 to 11 feet above normally dry ground swamped coastal areas of southwest Jamaica. Melissa later made a Category 3 landfall in eastern Cuba, then a Category 2 landfall in the southeast Bahamas. At least 95 were killed, 45 of which were in Jamaica and another 43 in Haiti.
