Digest more
The core of Hurricane Melissa is pulling away from the Bahamas on Thursday, according to the National Hurricane Center.  Melissa is currently located approximately 160 miles west-northwest of Bermuda.
Forecasters said the colossal amount of rain dropped on parts of Florida east and north of Orlando was comparable to what the region saw from a hurricane in 2022, underscoring the state's vulnerability to extreme weather far beyond the tropical storms that brew offshore.
