New York Times:

Hurricane Melissa brought life-threatening storm surge and flooding to Cuba on Wednesday after leaving a swath of destruction in Jamaica, where power and internet outages were making it difficult to assess the scale of the damage.

The storm weakened somewhat before making landfall in Cuba, and is now a Category 2 storm, the National Hurricane Center said on Wednesday morning. Melissa remained potent and dangerous, though: Parts of eastern Cuba were set to receive more than 20 inches of rain and dangerous flooding, and the southeastern Bahamas were expected to receive up to 10 inches of rainfall as the storm advanced.
