People living on the Florida panhandle are on high alert with the upgrading of Hurricane Michael to a Category 2 hurricane on Tuesday.
Florida Governor Rick Scott is sounding the warning for residents in the storm’s path. “Hurricane Michael is forecast to be the most destructive storm to hit the Florida Panhandle in decades.”
As of 1 PM ET, Michael has sustained winds of 110 mph with gusts going as high as 130 mph. The storm is just 1 mph below Category 3 status and is expected to climb above that threshold before making landfall on Wednesday.
