Hurricane Michael made landfall on the Florida Panhandle overnight on 10 October. This was an intense storm with the third lowest recorded barometric pressure of any hurricane to hit the USA since 1900. Maximum sustained winds were 155 mph, so although it was designated as category four, it was very close to category five which is accorded to storms of 157mph. Given this intensity, Michael continued with hurricane force winds as it made its way inland, passing over Northern Florida and into Georgia.
