Hurricane Michael

We had two hurricanes hit us this year. The first, Florence, wasn't terrible. We got lots and lots of rain that certainly caused problems, but we never lost power and there weren't too many trees down. The second, however, was a surprise. 

Hurricane Michael was a massive Cat5 that came flying up from the Gulf of Mexico and just plowed into us and kept on going. It was "only" a tropical storm by the time it hit us, but the winds were much, much more severe and really caused some wreckage. Lots of trees down, lots of flooding in the area. 
It tore our neighborhood up and we were without power for 4 days. Certainly not an experience I would like to repeat...
