Goodness, why didn't they leave?
They tried.
They had flights for Sunday, but they closed the airport. They had tried for a solid 24 hours to get on earlier flights.
My full post about it is on about page 12. They’re with about 375 other resort guests and staff in a shelter on the resort.

Some are reporting that the treasure beach cam is on a loop
thats pretty clever. Get a bunch of views until someone outs you.
Even with real livecams I wonder about the actual location. Could be one from the far west of the island and not actually in the zone.

Melissa is perfect, that's all you can really say. Prayers for those in the path who will endure this storm and its aftermath.

That's awful. Hope they are able to get the help they need and are able to shelter throughout the storm.

The amount of lightning in Melissa's eyewall is unreal.

Because it's the third most powerful storm in recorded history and still strengthening as it enters the island. If some of these estimated wind gusts are correct, you're looking at gusts 50-80 MPH higher than Gilbert, Ivan or Dean had while in Jamaica. Maybe more.
Those were obviously very, very bad. But this is on another level when it comes to a hurricane making landfall while hitting peak intensity. Hopefully the track stays out of Montego Bay.
Yeah, it’s a very strong hurricane. I’m just saying it’s tiny. The hurricane force winds only go out like 30 miles, while Gilbert’s covered most of the island. If the core hits, that spot’s wrecked, but it’s not going to level the whole country. I agree that this new track is very bad for Montego Bay.

Hurricane Melissa Tropical Cyclone Update
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132025
1200 PM EDT Tue Oct 28 2025
...MELISSA'S EYE APPROACHING THE SOUTHWESTERN COAST OF JAMAICA...
...STAY IN YOUR SHELTER...
...1200 PM EDT POSITION UPDATE...
THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION! Do
not leave your shelter as the eye passes over, as winds will
quickly, and rapidly increase on the other side of the eye.

life-threatening conditions. To protect yourself from wind, the
best thing you can do is put as many walls as possible between you

you can also avoid falling trees, is the safest place you can be in
a building. You can cover yourself with a mattress and wear a
helmet for added protection.
The next update will be provided at 100 PM EDT (1700 UTC), or as
needed for landfall.

Is this the only storm chaser live right now?
Is anyone else streaming live other than just webcams?
