Thousands of tourists warned they’ll be ‘stranded for weeks’ in the Caribbean as monster Hurricane Melissa carves path of destruction

by

Hurricane Melissa pummeled Cuba early Wednesday after leaving a path of destruction across Jamaica, where 25,000 tourists remain stranded and entire towns were under water.

The ‘storm of the century’ could take days or even weeks to recover in the worst-hit parts of Jamaica, with landslides and fallen trees and power lines making it difficult for rescue crews to access some flood-ravaged regions.

Meanwhile in Cuba, as many as 735,000 residents heeded warnings from the nation’s president and emergency response crews as they fled their homes along the coast and mountainous regions in the path of the storm ahead of its arrival on Wednesday.
