Hurricane Melissa is the most powerful storm to hit Jamaica since records began being kept in 1850.
Stunning footage revealed the interior of Hurricane Melissa’s massive eye as it barreled toward Jamaica with nearly 200 mph winds — the strongest storm to hit the island country in recorded history.
The clip — shared on X by storm chasing meteorologist Jeremy DeHart — showed a cylindrical wall of clouds standing 10,000 feet high as the wicked storm bore down on Jamaica Sunday.
“As clear of an eye as you will see in the Atlantic basin,” DeHart wrote.
Despite the 175 mph winds raging within the eyewall, clear blue skies and sunshine were visible above the towering clouds.
A Category 5 behemoth, Melissa is poised to crash head-on into Jamaica by Tuesday morning — the first storm of its size to make landfall on the island since hurricanes began being recorded in 1850, Fox Weather told The Post.
