Public safety and emergency officials continue their rescue efforts after Hurricane Michael slammed into the Florida coast and wreaked devastating havoc in the state.
The hurricane morphed into a Category 4 with wind speeds up to 155 miles per hour, making it the third-strongest hurricane to make landfall in the U.S. Michael killed at least 11 people and has left 1.5 million people across five states without power.
American Red Cross and Salvation Army volunteers are working to feed thousands of the storm's survivors, while emergency teams are prioritizing to bring back communications and transportation to affected areas.
