Part 3/8:
Beyond Jamaica, Melissa's path points toward a series of devastating impacts:
Eastern Cuba: Category 3 hurricane near Guantanamo by early Wednesday morning (October 29th).
The Bahamas: Significant storm surge and heavy rainfall on Crooked Island and surrounding islands during the same day.
U.S. Coast: While the U.S. mainland remains relatively safe, southeastern Florida and the Outer Banks could experience rough surf, rip currents, and minor coastal flooding due to Melissa's large wave swells.
