David Muir's ABC show gets interrupted for 'catastrophic' hurricane update as fans pray
ABC World News Tonight was interrupted on Sunday evening as Linsey Davis shared a 'catastrophic' breaking news update about Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica.
Hurricane Melissa made landfall in western Jamaica on October 28 as a Category 5 storm with 185 mph winds, tying the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane as the strongest Atlantic landfall on record. Scientists say abnormally warm ocean temperatures helped the storm double in strength in less than a day — a sign of how global warming is intensifying extreme weather.
