Ferocious hurricane Michael moves to Carolina after having devastated the states of Florida and Georgia, destroying homes, de-energizing entire neighborhoods and killing at least two people, including an 11-year-old child.

It is the third largest hurricane to hit land in the US, and the worst in the last 50 years, starting in Hurricane Camille in the 1969 year.

Hurricane Michael, the first hurricane of the 4 category, which was released in Panhandle, Fla., "Is the worst hurricane that has ever been seen here," said Florida Governor Rick Scott on Wednesday.

A massive storm struck Panhandla in northwest Florida early Wednesday afternoon. Hurricane wind speeds reached 250 kilometers per hour.

Currently, the hurricane is weak, but still poses a danger to hundreds of thousands of people in Florida, Alabama and Georgia. Damage from destruction is estimated at 50 billion dollars.

ABC News chief meteorologist Ginger Zee said that the destructions in Mexico Beach "resemble the eerie scene that I saw in Gulfport [Louisiana] in 2005 year" after Hurricane Katrin.

After that, the hurricane headed north through southwest Georgia and on Thursday headed for North and South Carolina, the states that still have not recovered from the historic flood after the hurricane Florence last month.

Florida Senator Marco Rubio wrote on Twitter that he heard about the massive destruction in Mexico Beach and the disastrous damage in Panama City.

Residents in the dark

Hurricane left around 700 000 homes and businesses without electricity in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina.

Officials said that more 30 000 workers from 24 states were mobilized to recover electricity.

According to officials, approximately 325 000 residents on the way to the storm were evacuated by local authorities, but only 6000 people arrived at 80 shelters in Florida, Alabama, Georgia and Carolina.

Federal officials were concerned that the rapid nature of the storm did not give residents enough time to get out. Michael just a few hours intensified before the 4 hurricane category.
