Unlike others Hurricane’s such as Hurricane Katrina, Andrew, Rita, Ivan and even Hurricane Sandy that have become household names, within a week after Hurricane Michael the storm and the people impacted by storm where all but forgotten about by the rest of the country and in the media for flooding in Texas and wildfires in California.
Hurricane Michael made landfall near Mexico Beach on October 10, 2018, with maximum sustained winds of 160 miles per hour or 260 km/h.
Hurricane Michael was the first Category 5 hurricane to make landfall in the United States since Hurricane Andrew in 1992.
Michael made history as the third strongest storm by pressure and fourth strongest by wind speed to make landfall in the continental United States.
The storm caused extensive damage from Panama City, Tyndall Air Force Base and Mexico Beach and further east into Gulf County.
Nearly all homes were totally destroyed within Mexico Beach.

Overnight storms blasted across southeast Kansas with winds over 80mph and torrential rains. This massive line of storms started out as a couple of thundershowers near Colby in far northwest Kansas and evolved into a massive line responsible for damage and power outages across a large part of the state.
