Hurricane Michael: The Damage in Pictures
Hurricane Michael made landfall on the Florida Panhandle on Wednesday as what Gov. Rick Scott called, “the worst storm that our Florida Panhandle has seen in a century.” Packing maximum sustained winds of 155 miles an hour, the storm rolled ashore midday and pummeled the coast with rain, wind and storm surges.
Residents are beginning to return to assess the damage and start the long, slow road to recovery.

My heart is shattered in a million pieces looking at the devastion, I hope and pray for the people who have to endure this. I ,too, know the feeling of losing my things, but not to this extreme, I lived on Big Pine Key.
