Category 5 Hurricane Michael at landfall in Florida. By Ian Livingston Ian Livingston Email Bio Follow April 19 at 12:08 PM Monster hurricane Michael, which decimated the Florida panhandle last October, is now rated at the top of the scale for classifying these destructive storms.
Michael thus becomes the first storm to make landfall as a Category 5 in the United States since Andrew struck southern Florida in August 1992 . Michael was blamed for 49 deaths and more than $5.5 billion in damage. It also becomes the third hurricane to strike Florida as a Category 5, and its October landfall made it the latest a storm this strong has ever struck U.S. shores.
