Hurricane Michael -- the fourth Category 4 storm to pummel the United States in 14 months -- snapped pine trees like toothpicks,Watch Vanguard Online washed neighborhoods into the sea, and shredded the hangars of an Air Force base.

A one-mile swath of Mexico City is now a wasteland, wrecked by surges of sea water that Hurricane Michael propelled into the coast.
Other neighborhoods were ravaged by the storm's wind. The eyewall of Hurricane Michael -- where the strongest winds churn -- passed directly through Panama City.
