Viewers of a live flight map were stunned when US Air Force Hurricane Hunters flew across the eye of the storm before it made landfall in Jamaica.
Hurricane Melissa has devastated the Caribbean country, now declared a ‘disaster area’, putting towns under water as the strongest storm to hit the island since records began 174 years ago.

The Hurricane Hunters fly into and around storms to measure wind speed, pressure, temperature and humidity. This data then helps the centre to make accurate forecasts and plan for emergency measures.
