Category 5 Hurricane Melissa has officially made landfall on Jamaica as the strongest landfalling hurricane in Atlantic history, with sustained winds of 185 mph and gusts up to 225 mph.

A tragic moment for Jamaica.

[Dakota Smith @weatherdak]

A display of pure power from Hurricane Melissa today.

Remarkable satellite imagery.

[Nahel Belgherze @WxNB_]

Obvious wavenumber-5 mesovortex pattern within Hurricane Melissa’s eyewall earlier today — when the simulation matches reality.

Just two decades ago, the very existence of mesovortices was still a matter of debate.

[Sam Brandt @sambrandt99]

892 mb at sea level is absurd. You would need to climb to 1.1 km (3600 ft) above sea level to experience the same pressure on a normal day. A slab of air 1.1 km thick was essentially removed from the column above the Melissa’s center.

[Michael Ferragamo @FerragamoWx]

To give you a sense of how incredibly rare and unique Hurricane #MELISSA is, here are the most-intense landfalling Atlantic hurricanes that we have on record.

MELISSA is now tied with LABOR DAY 1935 at the top – something I'd never imagine to see in my lifetime.

[Peter Forister 🍁🍂🍁 @forecaster25]

The Sentinel-2 satellite captured this image of Melissa's eye at peak intensity. 10m pixel resolution - one of the best satellite images ever captured of a hurricane of this intensity.

Prayers up for Jamaica 🇯🇲🙏

Hurricane Melissa has unleashed winds over 180 mph, with gusts reaching 225 mph — one of the strongest storms in world history. 💔

Stay safe, Jamaica. The world is with you. 🌍💚💛🖤
#Prayers #Jamaica #HurricaneMelissa

From a crewmember on yesterday's Teal 74 mission into now-Category 5 Hurricane #Melissa. As clear of an eye as you will see in the Atlantic basin.

"The question is no longer whether change is coming. It’s whether we will shape it intentionally, with fairness and purpose – or allow market forces to push us blindly towards potential disaster."
