Hurricane Melissa made landfall on the Caribbean island of Jamaica on Tuesday, Oct. 28, as a Category 5 storm with sustained winds over 180 mph. It brought threats of more than two feet of rain and a life-threatening storm surge.

Brumley, 69, who expects losses on his uninsured J$540-million ($3.37-million) investment, warns Melissa's blow could trigger a "massive" egg shortage on the island.
