4 min ago This is what Hurricane Michael looked like from space this afternoon
From CNN's Christina ZdanowiczCameras outside the International Space Station took these images of Hurricane Michael as it moved toward the Florida Panhandle.The videos were shot at 12:58 p.m. ET from an altitude of 255 miles:13 min ago Where the rain felt like "razor blades" and a rake flew by at 100 mph
From CNN's Eric WeisbrodCNN's John Berman is in Panama City Beach, Florida, right now as Hurricane Michael pummels the Florida coast.He said the rain felt “like powerful razor blades” on his face.Berman also saw powerful winds sweep up a rake.“We saw a rake out here a moment ago flying along at 100 miles per hour or so… and this is just the beginning," he said.Berman also directed viewers to a piece of metal railing crumbing under the pressure of intense winds.“This wind is pushing that metal railing over, and I don’t think it’s going to be able to stand up much more," he said.
"This railing which is cemented to the ground here is bending over. This wind is pushing that mental railing over,' says @JohnBerman. "It is really blowing hard here at the moment" http://cnn.it/2Ekqppw21 min ago Florida man shoots Facebook Live video from inside the eye of the hurricane
Teddy Jaison Rawlings stepped outside his house in Callaway, Florida, as Hurricane Michael's eye passed overhead.He took out his phone and recorded a 15-minute Facebook Live video showing what it's like during that strange, uncomfortably calming moment bookended by extreme weather.Trees appear to be leaning off kilter, a few roofs appear to be damaged and the neighborhood is flooded. Everyone, for the most part, appears to be in good spirits.Watch (note: there is some adult language):33 min ago This Florida sheriff has had it with people going on the beaches
Walton County Sheriff Michael Adkinson Jr. has encountered a few people on the beaches as Hurricane Michael unleashes its fury. Obviously, that's not a safe place to be -- for them, or the first responders they would call if they find themselves in trouble."We have people who cannot exercise good sense. While it might be their constitutional right to be an idiot, it’s not their right to endanger everyone else!," he tweeted.Here's video from one of the beaches. As the office's Twitter account puts it, "Get. 👏🏼 To. 👏🏼 Shelter. 👏🏼"
Get.
To. Shelter.
This video is from Grayton where @SheriffAdkinson spoke to a man on the beach where this was taken. Four more tried to drive on beach. Curfew is in effect. Please get to safety. #HurricaneMichael #HurricaneMichael2018 @NWSTallahassee @wmbbjustin29 min ago BREAKING: Michael makes landfall as a powerful Category 4 hurricane
Hurricane Michael has officially made landfall near Mexico Beach, Florida, as a powerful, high-end Category 4 storm, the National Hurricane Center just announced.It brings with it a life-threatening storm surge, hurricane-force winds, and heavy rainfall all throughout the Florida Panhandle.How meteorologists define landfall: The "landfall" designation is not made until one half of the eye is over land.See the moment:
"The storm has made landfall just to the northwest of Mexico beach... It actually strengthened as it made landfall," reports meteorologist @JenniferGrayCNN http://cnn.it/2Ekqppw51 min ago FEMA chief: Hurricane Michael could be “most intense” storm to hit the Panhandle since 1851
From CNN's Ray Sanchez
FEMA Administrator Brock Long told President Trump Wednesday that Hurricane Michael could be the “most intense” storm to hit the Florida panhandle since 1851.Trump met with Long and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen at the Oval Office.“Unfortunately, this is a Gulf Coast hurricane of the worst kind,” Brock said. “Storm surge estimates are anywhere between nine and 14 feet. Storm surge is going to be the worse where eye makes landfall -- just to the east or south of where the eye makes landfall … Coupled with that you have over 145 mph winds. Structures built before 2001 are not designed to handle that type of wind, typically.”
Brock expressed concern that too many people in the path of the storm have not heeded evacuation orders.“Yesterday we were concerned,” Brock told the President. “We did not like the level of evacuation activity that we were seeing … Unfortunately, first responders may not be able to go in and rescue those who dial 911 at this point.”The President said some communities in the storm's path "very poor,” making it more difficult for some to evacuate.“It’s not so easy for some of these people to leave,” Trump said. “Some of these areas are very poor.”Nielsen also said utility companies from 14 states were prepared to move in and begin work downed power lines once the storm has passed.“We’ve got food supplies, food chains, we’re working with all of the states,” Trump said.Parts of the Carolinas could experience flooding due to heavy rains, Brock said.58 min ago Police chief: Residents are "pretty much going to be on their own"
From CNN's Eric WeisbrodBobby Varnes, police chief of Apalachicola, Florida, said the winds are as bad as he’s ever seen in 39 years of living there.Barnes estimated that around 60% of people there stayed to ride out the storm.“Right now there’s no emergency services,” he said. “There’s no ambulance service, no medical, so they’re pretty much going to be on their own until it lets up."Watch:
Bobby Varnes, police chief of Apalachicola, Florida, says the winds from Hurricane Michael are as bad as he’s ever seen them in 39 years of living there.
"Right now, there's no emergency services," he says: "It's just too dangerous."
