SHE'S A POWERFUL FORCE -- NATURAL DISASTERS
Hurricane Michael

This one came on so quickly that there wasn't time for serious evacuation efforts.  It's expected that about 1,000,0000 people will lose power for up to 10 days.  

Gaining strength with every passing hour, Hurricane Michael began pounding the Florida Panhandle with sideways-blown rain and crashing waves today as it closed in on the coastline with potentially catastrophic winds of 150 mph.

It was the most powerful storm on record to menace the roughly 200-mile stretch of fishing towns, military bases and spring-break beaches.

The brute quickly sprang from a weekend tropical depression, becoming a furious Category 4 by early Wednesday. Less than a day earlier, Michael was a Category 2.
