Dominican Republic: Tropical Storm Melissa Batters, Causing Damage and Disruptions 2

Tropical Storm Melissa swept through the Dominican Republic, toppling trees, traffic lights, and triggering small landslides. Authorities closed schools and government offices across several provinces as the storm disrupted water systems and threatened severe flooding. Melissa is expected to strengthen into a Category 4 hurricane this weekend as it lashes the Caribbean with heavy rain and destructive winds.

Wildfires in Canakkale - Turkey

A wildfire that began in agricultural land near Sarıcaeli village in Canakkale province in Turkey spread into a nearby forest and forced authorities to temporarily suspend ship traffic through the Dardanelles (Canakkale) Strait. The Dardanelles (also called the Canakkale Strait) links the Aegean Sea to the Sea of Marmara and is a key route for vessels transiting between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Its temporary closure underscores how wildfires can disrupt global maritime traffic and local communities, on August 8, 2025 in Canakkale, Turkey. Photo by Berkman Ulutin/DIA Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
