Why Hurricane Michael is monster unlike any other It's to be strongest hurricane to hit Panhandle
By HOLLY YAN, CNN
(CNN) - Even those jaded by hurricanes have never seen anything like this.
For the first time, a Category 4 hurricane is on track to slam the Florida Panhandle. And it's bringing an onslaught of deadly hazards.
Here's what makes Hurricane Michael especially dangerous:
The strongest hurricane ever to hit the Panhandle Michael rapidly intensified to a Category 4 hurricane overnight. By Wednesday morning, it was hurling 145-mph winds.
Even scarier, Michael could get stronger before making landfall Wednesday afternoon.
The storm will likely bring "winds that are above typical building codes," FEMA's Long said.
Hurricane Andrew in 1992 inspired tougher building codes in Florida. But many older houses aren't built to withstand a beast like Michael.
"You're going to see roofs off houses. You're going to see houses collapsing," said Ken Graham, director of the National Hurricane Center.

Trump’s fault! Trump’s Katrina! It’s all over for him now!
OMG WE HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE!
RUN, EVERYBODY RUN, AND ELECT AS MANY DEMOCRATS AS YOU CAN!
I’m sure candidate Gillum will come out of this looking like Superman for his undeniable leadership skills.
Democrats always play up hurricane season as proof of climate change.
Then it flops when the hurricane doesn’t do as much damage as expected.
“Trump’s fault! Trump’s Katrina! It’s all over for him now!”
This will be spun very positively for Tallahassee mayor Andrew Gillum, gushingly interviewed often by the Weather Channel the past couple days.
This news is sensational!
This one isn’t hype. The only hope is that it shifts a bit eastward and hits a lightly-populated section of the FLA coast. But storm surge is going to be bad at least 100 miles east of the landfall point.
If it’s so bad why will the MSM stand around in it ?
Well, this truly IS looking like a monster storm, but CNN is STILL an enemy regardless.
Fake lying scum.
I don’t know.
This storm actually seems somewhat significant.
We will see. Might be strong, in the Eastern quadrant.
Now they are saying this will be worst ever October Hurricane - Global Climate Change causing this.
Also send in lots and lots of donations for the election of Democrats to be elected to “clean up” this mess, i.e., another fiasco like Puerto Rico, over a year later and STILL little local action. much of the storm damage unrepaired and many places still uninhabitable.
What crap.
It’s calling for a CAT 1 by making Atlanta, and that is 2 CAT’s below last years... which knocked out electricity for me for about a day.
