Not since records began 167 years ago has a Category 4 hurricane hit the Florida Panhandle. Now tropical storm Michael as it moves inland, the hurricane hit the coast with ferocious winds of 250 km/h yesterday. At least two people died after being hit by falling trees. Large buildings had their roofs peeled off, and this morning, 500,000 people are without power. The storm is now hitting Georgia with far less intensity.
