The core of Hurricane Melissa made landfall Tuesday afternoon near New Hope, Jamaica, as the strongest storm in the nation's history. Now, it continues into Cuba.
What started as a tropical birthday trip for Alexis Maldonado and Tavianna Smith quickly turned into a nightmare when they became stranded in Jamaica during the storm.
Tropical Storm Melissa is gaining strength as it remains nearly stationary near Jamaica, the National Hurricane Center said Friday. Melissa is located about 345 miles southeast of Kingston, Jamaica. Maximum sustained winds are 65 mph.
