Hurricane Melissa has carved a path of devastation through the Caribbean as it barrels toward the Bahamas.
Melissa pummeled Jamaica on Tuesday, leaving 25,000 tourists stranded, thousands without electricity and entire towns underwater. At least eight people have died, including an infant, as a result of the damage.
Yushaine Morgan, attorney-at-law and resident of Santa Cruz told the Jamaica Observer that Melissa's devastation was 'unimaginable.'
'There are parts of my town that I cannot recognize,' he said. 'There are roads that are no longer roads…So many persons have lost their houses, so many people have lost motor vehicles, animals, businesses have been destroyed, roofs have just take off.'
Melissa battered eastern Cuba this morning with damaging winds and dangerous flooding, as Donald Trump mobilized rescue teams to assist Caribbean countries with their recovery.
The National Hurricane Center warned that the now Category 2 storm is still powerful with up to 105mph winds.

Jamaican man says hometown is 'unrecognizable'
By Rachel Bowman
A resident of Santa Cruz in the Jamaican parish of St. Elizabeth told the Jamaica Observer his hometown is 'unrecognizable.'
'What we went through last night, yesterday is beyond what we would have imagined no matter how badly we could think things would have gone,' he said.
'There are parts of my town that I cannot recognize. There are roads that are no longer roads. So many persons have lost their houses, so many people have lost motor vehicles, animals, businesses have been destroyed, roofs have just take off.'
Dana Morris Dixon, Jamaica’s information minister, said Hurricane Melissa knocked out power to 77 percent of the country, according to The New York Times.
'I know so many people have said they cannot reach their families in western Jamaica. That’s because of damage to the telecoms infrastructure,' she said.
'We know that it’s western Jamaica that has the brunt of the impact. We will have to give you that in the coming days,' she said, adding that Central Jamaica had 'a lot of damage, a lot of flooding.'
Devastating photos show floodwaters covering houses in St. Elizabeth and damaged infrastructure.

'The hospital is totally devastated. When I say we are immobile, police units are down, all the units at the EOC (Emergency Operations Centre) are down because they would have been covered with water throughout the hurricane.
'So at this point in time we’re unable to do any rescuing. We’re unable to respond. So we are trying to let everybody know that the situation here is devastating. We need all the help that we can and conditions are going to deteriorate as the day progresses because persons are feeling it already.'

Hotel manager says Jamaican damage is 'significant'
By Rachel Bowman
Keitho Nembhard, a manager at the Grand Palladium Hotel in Lucea, Jamaica, told CNN that Hurricane Melissa caused significant damage.
'The devastation around is significant. Lots of downed trees, lots of debris, damage to properties, lots of roofs have blown off,' he said.
'It was very frightening. You could see massive waves, coming ashore, high as between 13 to 15 feet. Lots of water falling around us. But what we saw during that was our team members and our management team stood firm, trying to ensure some level of safety and security for everyone involved as we hunkered down and supported each other.'
The manager said himself, other staffers and around 700 guests sheltered at the hotel during the storm.
'What I’m seeing currently is a resilient set of people, a lot of Jamaicans are out, assisting each other to rebuild the day after the storm,' Nembhard said.
'We are already rebuilding. We’re putting over Bob Marley music. We’re trying to work best to get through to our relatives and friends, and at the same time, we are holding together.
