Hurricane Michael – now a cyclone – has claimed 11 lives in four states so far, and officials are warning that the storm is again gaining strength and will continue to pose a danger.
News reports say Virginia has been hit the hardest, with five people killed. The storm killed four in Florida and one each in Georgia and North Carolina. Among the dead: a man who died when a tree fell onto his car and an 11-year-old girl who was in her home when strong winds picked up a carport and sent it through the roof over her head.
