Hurricane Michael has torn through The Panhandle, and is now affecting the Carolinas, and Georgia. It is also sweeping parts of Virginia. There are two deaths now in Florida. A large mental hospital in Florida is cut off from power, supplies, and civilization. Authorities are worries as they are not able to make contact with the staff. They are dropping food and water daily, and hoping the occupants will survive. They have mentally unstable criminals, and only time will tell whether or not, they have escaped.
In Virginia, there has been emergency flash flooding, and authorities are now making water rescues. In Florida and the Carolinas, Michael has been picking up strength from the N.

But it still hit hard, further up the coast. More damage reports coming soon.
