Six people have been killed as a result of Hurricane Michael, which hit the Florida Panhandle as a Category 4 storm Wednesday and has continued wreaking havoc on its trek through Georgia and the Carolinas weakening to a tropical storm Thursday.

Four people in Florida, one in Georgia, and one in North Carolina were identified by federal officials Thursday as casualties in the storm, but the Federal Emergency Management Agency chief said that number is expected to grow over the next few days.
