\u00a0(AFP<\/strong>) \u2014 Hurricane Melissa was \u201cmoving quickly away\u201d from Bermuda early Friday after the death toll rose to nearly 50 people, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ferocious storm has devastated Caribbean islands and is expected to become an \u201cextratropical cyclone\u201d later in the day, reaching the northeastern United States and eastern Canada, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said in its latest advisory.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter Melissa becomes post-tropical, a brief period of heavy rain and gusty winds is possible over the southern Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland tonight,\u201d the NHC added.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Flooding was expected to subside in the Bahamas although high water could persist in Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti and neighboring Dominican Republic, the agency said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The storm, one of the most powerful ever recorded, was made four times more likely because of human-caused climate change, according to a study by Imperial College London.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Melissa smashed into both Jamaica and Cuba with enormous force, and residents were assessing their losses and the long road to recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Jamaica, \u201cthe confirmed death toll from Hurricane Melissa is now at 19,\u201d including nine in Westmoreland and eight in St. Elizabeth, both parishes in the Caribbean island\u2019s hard-hit west, Information Minister Dana Morris Dixon told local news outlets including the Jamaica Gleaner.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Communications and transportation access remains largely down in Jamaica and Cuba, and comprehensive assessment of the damage could take days.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In impoverished Haiti, the country\u2019s civil defense agency said Thursday that the death toll had risen to 30, with 20 people injured and another 20 missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It said more than 1,000 homes have been flooded, with some 16,000 people in shelters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the east of the communist island of Cuba, battling its worst economic crisis in decades, people struggled through inundated streets lined with flooded and collapsed homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The storm smashed windows, downed power cables and mobile communications, and tore off roofs and tree branches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melissa \u201ckilled us, because it left us destroyed,\u201d Felicia Correa, who lives in the La Trampa community near El Cobre, told AFP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were already going through tremendous hardship. Now, of course, we are much worse off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
