Hurricane Melissa is slamming eastern Cuba on Wednesday morning, Oct. 29, after hammering Jamaica on Tuesday and causing widespread damage.

Its intensity at landfall appeared to tie an all-time Atlantic Basin record. But the devastation in Jamaica wasn't all Melissa brought to the Caribbean. Here is our recap of this historic hurricane.

The center of Hurricane Melissa is now about 150 miles northeast of the Bahamas, and impacts will continue to subside over the next several hours. Melissa maintains its category 2

Melissa is now a Category 3 hurricane as it hits eastern Cuba, after bringing catastrophic winds, rain and storm surge to Jamaica. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that his administration was "prepared to move" on sending humanitarian aid to Jamaica, amid the devastation wrought there by Hurricane Melissa.

Melissa is one of the most powerful hurricane landfalls on record in the Atlantic Basin, killing at least 32 people.

The strengthening storm is most likely to approach Jamaica and/or Hispaniola late this week. In the days that follow from there, the potential path for the storm remains uncertain, and troubling.

The NHC predicts that Melissa could become a major hurricane as it skirts around Jamaica early next week. Here's how it will unfold.

Now, as a weakened category 2 storm, there have been some impacts felt in the Bahamas, with Melissa tracking toward Bermuda on Thursday. Beyond that, as can be fairly typical, Melissa will weaken so that it will no longer be a hurricane or tropical storm as it moves into the North Atlantic.
