|Updated:

MEXICO BEACH, Fla.—Hurricane Michael’s violence was visible in shattered Florida coastal towns on Oct. 11. Rows of homes were ripped from foundations and roofs were peeled off schools by the near-record-force storm blamed for six deaths.

Michael smashed into Florida’s northwest coast near the small town of Mexico Beach on Wednesday with screeching 155 mile per hour winds, pushing a wall of seawater inland.
