In the weeks since Hurricane Melissa hammered Jamaica as a powerful Category 5 storm, Bob and Sheila Nudd have turned the garage of their Hampton home into a makeshift relief center.

1,000 Jamaicans still in shelters

Over 1,000 Jamaicans remain in shelters almost six weeks after the passage of Hurricane Melissa. The Category 5 storm, which slammed into Jamaica on October 28, making landfall on the western belt, left much of the housing stock in tatters as it ripped off roofing and toppled houses, even as floodwaters poured into dwelling places, resulting in residents having to flee for their lives.
