    Hurricane Michael has rapidly grown into a strong Category 2 storm, with sustained winds hitting 110 mph on Tuesday — just 24 hours after gaining hurricane status, according to the National Hurricane Center. Michael is expected to make landfall along the Gulf Coast on Wednesday as a Category 3 storm.

    Hurricane Michael is forecast to be the most destructive storm to hit the Florida Panhandle in decades. It's expected to send life-threatening surges of ocean water into coastal areas along the Gulf, from Pensacola around the coast to Tampa.

    The storm's rapid intensification. Forecasters predict Michael will bring torrential rains and winds of upwards of 125 mph.
