Hurricane Michael is a Category 4 storm as it approaches landfall along the Florida Panhandle, where it could become the strongest storm to hit the United States this year.

Michael’s leading edge careened onto northwest Florida’s white-sand beaches Wednesday, Oct. 10, lashing the coast with tropical storm-force winds and rain and pushing a storm surge that could cause catastrophic damage well inland once it makes landfall.
