President Donald Trump revealed Friday that he will travel to Florida and Georgia after Hurricane Michael wreaked havoc across both states.
People have no idea how hard Hurricane Michael has hit the great state of Georgia. I will be visiting both Florida and Georgia early next week. We are working very hard on every area and every state that was hit – we are with you!

Hurricane Michael has so far led to nearly a dozen deaths, as it ripped through the Florida panhandle and Georgia after making landfall as a Category 4 storm.
The storm brought flash flood warnings to North Carolina and Virginia. One particular place on the Florida handle known as Mexico Beach was almost completely destroyed.
