Second pass through Hurricane Melissa entering from the southwest side. Passed NOAA in the eye wall as they headed outbound for home. Obviously a very powerful storm but a relatively straightforward one on this flight. Much less nasty meso activity than 36 hours ago.

A thread of videos from today’s flight into Hurricane Melissa In this first one we are entering from the southeast just after sunrise and the bright arc on the far northwest eye wall is the light just beginning to make it over the top from behind us.

Third pass through Melissa. GoPro in side window as different camera looking forward shooting in ultra high res 8k. Not sure when that might get processed as the file turned out ridiculous. Barely had HD space for it and MacBook Pro promptly chocked when I tried to edit it

Fourth pass through Melissa this morning, another side view due to my hairbrained attempt to shoot 8k video out the front.

Fifth and final pass through Hurricane Melissa for our crew today. Just after noon entering from the NW corner exiting SE.

Basically like water spouts/tornados embedded in the eye wall. Much tighter wrapped winds and even more water. Dangerous to fly through

makes sense, when melissa was rapidly intensifying those mesovorticies were spinning so rapidly and violently to induce those rapid pressure falls. now it’s more steady state incredible power

This was Melissa's presentation on satellite throughout the weekend as it went from tropical storm strength to a category 5 in less than 48 hours. Strengthening of this magnitude is well beyond what is classified as rapid intensification. #Melissa

Live flying the drone with Jim Cantore in Tampa this morning ahead of Hurricane #Milton. A beautiful scene at sunrise but this scene will be much difference in 36-48 hours. Time is running out to evacuate and prepare. Please take this storm very seriously.

Jamaica is forecast to get up to 30 inches of rain from historic Hurricane Melissa with a storm surge of 9 - 13ft in some areas - higher than the peak in this video. Climate change is making hurricanes more powerful. Watch David Attenborough’s Breaking Boundaries on Netflix (Video about 2018’s hurricane Florence)

Powerful Category 4 Hurricane #Melissa continues to strengthen south of Jamaica, while becoming nearly stationary. This storm still has some room to strengthen, unfortunately, as the relatively large eye could constrict even further in this prime environment! By tomorrow night into Monday, a north and northeast turn toward Jamaica is forecast, with a mega disaster likely there regardless of direct landfall. Stay away from the shoreline, creeks and rivers and find a concrete structure if you can!

On this day, 24 years ago, one of the most powerful tornadoes in recorded history happened in central Oklahoma. Tragically, 46 people lost their lives on this day with 74 tornadoes confirmed in a single day. Here is the F5 from southwest of Moore. This was just prior to the research indicating overpasses are not a viable shelter from a tornado, as the flow can accelerate through the gap.

48 hours ago, Typhoon Ragasa (NandoPH) was the most powerful storm on the planet in 2025. Tonight, he remains a large, spiraling, and powerful Pacific cyclone that is closing in on a dangerous landfall near Yangjiang, China. Hong Kong is currently under the highest storm warning level that can be issued for the city as Ragasa’s 120+ mph (195+ kph) core continues to pass by to the south.

For almost a week Jamaica held the international news headlines on Hurricane Melissa, as every major network provided wall-to-wall coverage of the historic storm. However, one of the features of the coverage which the international media might wish to consider is whether the sensational language used to describe the storm, especially ahead of its arrival, was overdone in the manner of the fabled boy who cried “wolf”.

It is difficult to comprehend an 892 MBAR eye. That sort of intensity is akin to a black hole in the Earth’s atmosphere. I cannot imagine what the communities in Jamaica that are getting crushed by this 185 MPH fury are going through right now. CATEGORY 5 MONSTER Hurricane Melissa is moments away from tying the all-time Atlantic Basin record for most intense landfalling Hurricane. That record used to be held solely by the Labor Day Hurricane, a storm that happened 90 YEARS AGO. Insanity.

Unbelievable. Melissa just surpassed Hurricane Katrina (2005) as the 7TH MOST INTENSE Atlantic Hurricane in recorded history, with her pressure now down to 901 MBAR. Her torrid eye is reaching unprecedented levels of dryness. -3.94 C at one point. The CDO is shuddering with subzero cloud tops extending more than 50,000 ft into the atmosphere. It is absolutely terrifying to think about the fact that Jamaica is just hours away from getting hit by this HISTORIC monster of a storm.

Erin O'Toole: Canada will weather this storm, and we're facing the storm head-on and trying to navigate a course through the hurricane of the Trump administration. We have to be united as a country and strategic. And from what I've seen, and I say this as someone that criticized Liberals most of my parliamentary career, the team assembled here is doing a very good job, and I hope they can drive home a deal -- they're certainly pushing for that."

🚨SATELLITE VIEW OF HURRICANE MELISSA WAS CUT FOR 11 HOURS TODAY. I couldn't see a darn thing on the NOAA slider... once again. EVERY SINGLE HURRICANE HITTING NEAR THE U.S.A. & EUROPE HAS GONE OFFLINE THIS YEAR. This pattern has become so obvious that I've publicly predicted, DOWN TO THE DAY, when these feeds would be cut. Every single time. Why is that? How can the exact same glitch happen so predictably? (And yes the noaa website offers similar images, however navigating them is far less effective/efficient than it is on the NOAA slider due to lack of high res zoom-ins and filter options etc.)

NEW: President Trump praises Turkey as a "great ally," suggesting his influence stopped the nation from entering a wider Middle East conflict with Israel. "They could have gotten into the fight, they're a very powerful military nation. They didn't do that.” "Maybe they didn't do that because of me. But they could have gotten into the fight on the other side.”

Melissa has a very real chance of tying Hurricane Allen (1980) as the STRONGEST Atlantic Hurricane on record in post-season analysis. A 252 MPH wind gust in the southern eyewall. The driest eye ever recorded at -2.25 C (Meranti was the previous record at -5.00 C it’s not even close). The highest ADT estimate of all-time. A pressure of at LEAST 892 mbar. Cat 5 strength sustained for 35 consecutive hours. Multiple eyewall mergers. The lowest pressure at landfall in the Western Hemisphere. Yesterday, Hurricane Melissa joined the ranks of some of the most powerful tropical cyclones the world has seen in the satellite era. And tragically, she did so right as she made an unprecedented landfall in Jamaica.

BREAKING.. HURRICANE MELISSA ON FINAL APPROACH FOR LANDFALL #HurricaneMelissa is now STRONGER than Katrina and refuses to weaken / go through an eye wall replacement to help minimize some strength as it nears the west coast of #Jamaica. This will hit as the worst hurricane in Jamaica’s history.. Central Pressure is a jaw dropping 901mb with winds 175 and gusts into the 225+ range. All hell is about to break loose for much of the day. There is just no more to say… everything that is needed to be communicated has been. We pray and that’s just about all we can do. This will become a recovery and clean up effort in the next 24 hours once the waters recede. PIX11 News
