AFP’s Josh Edelson photographs vehicles navigating roadways flooded with ocean water during a “King Tide” event in Mill Valley, California.
"King Tides" occur when the Earth, moon, and sun align to produce unusually high water levels, cause tidal flooding and give a glimpse into what things could look like with rising sea levels in the future

HORRIBLE: WORST CASE scenario is unfolding. Really, I am near a loss of words. "Last chance to protect your life at all costs" is the words from the NHC. Melissa is about to make landfall at its strongest intensity. A humanitarian disaster is about to unfold. The hurricane hunters detected 252 MPH gusts 300 feet off the ocean surface. 185 MPH max sustained winds and 220+ MPH gusts in the eyewall about to obliterate Black River area.

A wind gust of 252 mph was just measured above the surface in Hurricane Melissa as the storm continues to intensify right up until landfall.
This is the worst-case scenario for Jamaica.
