Hurricane Michael

More than a week after Hurricane Michael slammed into the Florida Panhandle, authorities are reporting three more deaths from the Category 4 storm as residents returning to their homes try to piece together their lives from the rubble left by strong winds and storm surge.

Hurricane Michael made landfall on Wednesday breaking many lives -- and records -- in its path.

It's easy for you to feel helpless during a storm as big as Michael.

Residents of Mexico Beach that stayed during the storm are emerging from the debris with harrowing tales. Others, who evacuated, are coming to grips with the fact that much of their community was destroyed by Hurricane Michael.

The third-most powerful hurricane to hit the U.S. mainland in recorded history left a wide path of destruction, destroying homes and shopping centers and felling trees that killed at least two people in Florida and Georgia. And it's not done yet.

Hurricane Michael is breaking records already. CNN is reporting that the storm will be the first Category 4 hurricane to hit the Florida Panhandle.
