The death toll in the hurricane Michael rose to 11 after the authorities of Virginia announced five dead as a result of weather phenomena, and rescuers are still dismantling debris left by the most powerful hurricane in the US in more than 50 years, writes NBC News.

And although the weather forecasters claimed that Michael was gradually losing strength before the tropical storm, he began to intensify when he went to the Atlantic.
Linda Marquardt was evacuated with her husband from her home in Mexico Beach - and for good reason. After the hurricane their house is full of mud, like many others around Panhandle. Here, fishing boats scattered like toys, torn from the roofs of buildings and broken like matches, trees.

A number of coastal houses were completely washed away by the storm waves of Hurricane Michael. Only concrete slabs in the sand remained. The destruction in this and other communities is catastrophic. It will take billions of dollars to recover.

“All my furniture was floating,” Marquardt, 67, said. “The water has just started to go down.” It was terrible and now there’s nothing left.”

In the mountains of North Carolina, motorists were rescued from flooded cars. Heavy winds broke trees and tore down power lines, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without electricity. Severe thunderstorms were recorded in the major cities of North Carolina in Charlotte and Raleigh. Similar weather was observed in some regions of Virginia when the hurricane was moving towards the ocean.

According to updated information, in Florida, Alabama, Georgia and North and South Carolina more than $ 900 000 houses were left without electricity.

Meanwhile, thousands of National Guard soldiers, law enforcement officers and rescue teams are still working in the most severe area of ​​destruction: Panhandle, Florida.

Families living along the Panhandle are trying to survive in the dangerous landscape of ruined houses and shopping centers.

In one community, Panama City, most homes remained standing, but all suffered varying degrees of damage. Downed power lines and torn out street signs, houses bisected by fallen trees, and hundreds of cars with broken windows are just some of the destruction that can be described. The hurricane damaged hospitals and nursing homes in Panama City. Officials urgently evacuated hundreds of patients.

The insurance company, which specializes in assessing disaster damage, estimated the damage from Hurricane Michael at $ 8 billion. Boston-based Karen Clark & ​​Company released the estimate Thursday, which includes private wind and storm surge insurance for residential, commercial and industrial properties and vehicles. It does not include losses covered by the National Flood Insurance Program.

In Virginia, a motor vehicle with a driver was torn down by a sudden flood. He later died.

The Coast Guard reported that it saved at least 27 people before and after the hurricane came ashore, mainly from coastal homes. Nine people were rescued by helicopter from a house in badly injured Panama City after the roof collapsed.

Because of the hurricane, the beach town of Mexico Beach in Florida is almost completely destroyed, Michael led to apocalyptic chaos in the popular tourist town.
