Hurricane Michael has now been downgraded to a tropical storm, but not before it left catastrophic damage in its wake across the Florida Panhandle.
So far, a man in Gadsen County, Florida, and an 11-year-old girl in Seminole County, Georgia have been confirmed killed by trees crashing through homes, but the death toll could rise.
Michael was one of the most powerful storms ever to hit the mainland U.S., with wind speeds just short of a Category 5 Hurricane.
On social media and news websites, pictures and video coming out of the Florida Panhandle show collapsing buildings, flooded streets and roofs being ripped off homes and cartwheeling down the streets.
