#EyeOnMelissa: Montego Bay preparing for the storm
ST JAMES, Jamaica — With Tropical Storm Melissa forecasted to intensify, Jamaicans continue their preparations to mitigate its expected devastation.
In Montego Bay on Saturday, workers were seen removing a sign that sits atop a building in the city.
It is expected that with the strong winds that are expected to accompany Tropical Storm Melissa, or Hurricane Melissa as is projected, that objects like this could be destroyed or turned into missiles, posing a hazard to the public.
It has also been noted that there have been major clean-up activities taking place by Western Parks and Markets to limit the amount of garbage that could be exposed to the weather.
With flooding expected, garbage could clog drains and other channels thus creating flooding.
