More than 300 American evacuees arriving in Tampa from Jamaica

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA)—More than 300 American evacuees are arriving in Tampa on Friday from Jamaica after Hurricane Melissa.

Grey Bull Rescue, a veteran-led humanitarian rescue organization, is bringing 340 evacuees to Tampa.

"Our team landed on a dirt runway in Jamaica, located registered Americans, bussed them to safety, and is now bringing them home. Conditions there remain dire — no comms, limited food, and dangerous roads," a Grey Bull Rescue spokeswoman said.

This comes after Hurricane Melissa made landfall as a Category 5 hurricane on Tuesday.
