Hurricane Melissa caused up to $4 billion in insured losses in Jamaica and tens of billions of dollars of overall damage throughout the Caribbean, authorities in the islands said on Monday; initial estimates the damages were $8 billion across the Caribbean, but some estimates for are as high as $52 billion. The storm has resulted in destroyed buildings, power outages, and damage to agriculture in multiple countries, most notably Jamaica and Haiti.

Haiti suffered extreme damage, with at least 33 deaths reported initially and many more missing. Hundreds of homes were flooded, damaged, or destroyed, particularly in areas affected by flooding from an overflowing river.  More than 11,600 people were displaced and sought shelter in the southern coastal town of Petit-Goâve.

Cuba also suffered tremendous damage from Hurricane Melissa, including damage to homes, hospitals, schools, and crops. Although no deaths were reported, the storm caused power outages, cut communications, blocked roads, and extreme flooding in eastern provinces, particularly Santiago de Cuba.

Hurricane Melissa caused an estimated $48 billion to $52 billion in total damage across the western Caribbean, with insured losses in Jamaica alone estimated at up to $4 billion. This is bad particularly in western Jamaica, where 90% of homes in towns like Black River lost their roofs or were destroyed entirely.
