...1000 AM EDT POSITION UPDATE...
 
THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION! TAKE 
COVER NOW! Failure to adequately shelter may result in serious 
injury, and loss of life. Residents in Jamaica that experience the 
eye should not leave their shelter as winds will rapidly increase 
within the backside of the eyewall of Melissa.

To protect yourself from wind, the best thing you can do is put as 
many walls as possible between you and the outside. An interior room 
without windows, ideally one where you can also avoid falling trees, 
is the safest place you can be in a building. You can cover yourself 
with a mattress and wear a helmet for added protection.

strengthen with maximum sustained winds of 185 mph (295 km/h).The 
minimum central pressure has fallen to 892 mb (26.34 inches) based
