Hurricane Michael was one of the most powerful hurricanes to hit the continental U.S. in almost 50 years, according。to the Associated Press.
The hurricane made landfall in Mexico Beach, Florida, as a Category 4 storm on Wednesday and then weakened as it moved through Georgia. Now designated a tropical storm, Michael is headed toward North and South Carolina, which were both recently devastated by Hurricane Florence.。

At least six people have died as a result of the hurricane. CoreLogic, a financial data company, estimates insured storm losses could reach $4.5 billion.。
Recovery work has started in Florida, so if you'd like to help the survivors there and in Georgia, here's our list of ways you can provide support:。
