And honestly, those water hazards are at least as scary as the wind, if not more so.
Here's what we know.
We're expecting 10 feet of storm surge or more in some parts of Jamaica.
And the storm is moving really, really slowly, like it's crawling over the water of the Caribbean.
And it's not going to speed up as it hits land.
So it will linger over Jamaica, dumping huge amounts of rain.
And I just, I can't overstate how much rain we're talking about here.
Melissa is expected to bring multiple feet of rain to some parts of Jamaica.
That is way more water than the ground can absorb.
It will cause massive flooding.
Hurricanes happen every year in the Caribbean.
Jamaica has obviously been hit by lots of storms over the years.
This is just the first time a storm of this magnitude has hit the island head-on since modern records began.
But storms like this one are getting more likely.
You know, climate change makes large, powerful storms more common.
It also makes very rainy storms more likely.
So if you live in the Caribbean, you know,
Hurricane Central, you are more and more likely over the years to find yourself staring down a really scary hurricane like Melissa at some point in your life.
Category 5 hurricanes have extremely powerful winds, strong enough to knock down homes that are made of wood and rip off most roofs.
And Hurricane Melissa is also moving extremely slowly, which means it will linger over land, dumping huge amounts of rain.
