Kimali Stephen last spoke to her dad, Albert, on the day Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica. More than a week after he disappeared, the concerned daughter is planning a trip to the island country to look for him.

After devastating Jamaica, Cuba and the Bahamas, Hurricane Melissa is heading toward Bermuda. Will it affect Florida?

Hurricane Melissa is expected to continue strengthening and become a Category 5 hurricane, according to the NHC, Saturday, Oct. 25.

Historic, life-threatening flash flooding and landslides are expected in portions of Jamaica, southern Haiti and the Dominican Republic through the weekend, the NHC said. Peak storm surge heights could reach 9 to 13 feet above normal tide levels in Jamaica, accompanied by large and powerfully destructive waves.

At 5 p.m., Melissa was located about 80 miles south of the Central Bahamas. Melissa is not expected to make landfall in Florida or the U.S. The powerful storm made landfall on Jamaica Tuesday morning and on Cuba early Wednesday morning. It's expected to move across the Bahamas later today and pass near Bermuda late Thursday.

Melissa is expected to become a Category 5 hurricane by Sunday night, Oct. 26, and have catastrophic impacts on islands in the northern Caribbean.

The Category 5 storm, which left a trail of destruction across the Caribbean, stunned forecasters and meteorologists, achieving extreme rapid intensification as well as a never-before-recorded wind speed near the ocean surface.

Forecasters are watching a tropical wave in the Caribbean, where waters remain warm enough to support tropical development.
