A British tourist has told Sky News the situation in Jamaica is "pretty dire" with visitors being told to lock themselves in hotel bathrooms and wait out Hurricane Melissa.
Andrew Tracey said there was a feeling of apprehension on the island, with tourists "left in no doubt" of the seriousness of the situation they are facing.
The Category 5 hurricane – dubbed the ‘storm of the century’ – is due to hit in the coming hours, with warnings of "catastrophic" conditions.
