#EyeOnMelissa: Winds intensify in downtown Kingston
KINGSTON, Jamaica — As hurricane Melissa continues its passage across Jamaica after making landfall in the southwest of the island on Tuesday morning, winds are intensifying in some eastern parishes including Kingston.
When Observer Online visited downtown Kingston on Tuesday evening, waves were still pushing copious amounts of water onto the shore, and there were downed trees as the wind intensified.
Hurricane Melissa is expected to move offshore Jamaica late Tuesday after making landfall around 11 am.
