People across the northern Caribbean tried to salvage waterlogged belongings, assess damage to their homes and find food and water as they dug out from the destruction of Hurricane Melissa.

Melissa slammed Jamaica on Tuesday as a catastrophic Category 5 storm, one of the most powerful Atlantic storms on record. It came ashore again in Cuba early Wednesday as a Category 3 storm, and also caused damage in nearby Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
