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.
