    CNN- Cuba suffered “significant damage” after Melissa made landfall there Wednesday morning as a Category 3 hurricane. Around 140,000 people are cut off by rising river levels as the storm lashes the country and heads toward the Bahamas.

    • Severe damage: Melissa hit Jamaica as one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record, caused major damage to public infrastructure and left most of the island without power. The full extent of the devastation there is unclear with some areas inaccessible.

    • Deadly storm: At least 25 people have died in Petit-Goâve, Haiti, after a river flooded by Melissa burst its banks, the local mayor said. Three people were killed in Jamaica during storm preparations, and one person died in the Dominican Republic.

    • How to help: Here’s how to help those impacted and how to let us know if you’ve been affected.
