Ootamatult ligi 5-palliseks orkaaniks kasvanud ja vähemalt alates 1992. aastast võimsaim orkaan Michael räsib USA lõunaosa Florida ja Georgia osariikides.
Kahjud on seda suuremad, et orkaan paisus enne USA mandriossa sisenemist ootamatult võimsaks. Seda ei osanud keegi oodata.
Sajad tuhanded on ilma elektrita. Vähemalt üks inimene on hukkunud.
