Hurricane Melissa latest: Storm leaves dozens dead across Caribbean as it heads toward Bermuda
The catastrophic storm, which caused widespread devastation across Jamaica, Cuba and Haiti, is being blamed for at least 34 deaths.
Now, as a weakened category 2 storm, there have been some impacts felt in the Bahamas, with Melissa tracking toward Bermuda on Thursday. Beyond that, as can be fairly typical, Melissa will weaken so that it will no longer be a hurricane or tropical storm as it moves into the North Atlantic.
Melissa tore through the Caribbean as one of the most powerful storms in history. By Thursday, the storm weakened as it left the Bahamas.
