<Tr> <Th> Duration </Th> <Td> October 7--October 12 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Peak intensity </Th> <Td> 155 mph (250 km / h) (1 - min) 919 mbar (hPa) </Td> </Tr> <P> Early on October 2, the NHC began monitoring a broad area of low pressure that had developed over the southwestern Caribbean Sea . While strong upper - level winds initially inhibited development, the disturbance gradually became better organized as it drifted generally northward and then eastward toward the Yucatán Peninsula . On October 6, the system became sufficiently organized to be declared a potential tropical cyclone, and the NHC initiated advisories on Potential Tropical Cyclone Fourteen . Early on the next morning, the system organized into a tropical depression, before intensifying into Tropical Storm Michael several hours later . Michael quickly became a hurricane around midday on October 8 as a result of rapid intensification . At 21: 00 UTC on October 9, while approaching the Gulf Coast, Michael strengthened into a major hurricane with winds reaching 120 mph, making it the second major hurricane of the season . Despite the NHC forecasting the hurricane to make landfall with winds of 125 mph, data from Hurricane Hunters indicated that Michael continued to rapidly intensify, becoming a Category 4 at 6: 00 UTC on October 10 with winds of 130 mph . At 18: 00 UTC on October 10, Michael made landfall with sustained winds of 155 miles per hour (250 km / h) and a minimum central pressure of 919 millibars (27.1 inHg), becoming the strongest storm of the season and also the third - strongest landfalling hurricane in the U.S. on record, in terms of central pressure . After crossing through the southeastern United States, Michael started restrengthening early on October 12 as a result of baroclinic forcing; however, the system transitioned into an extratropical cyclone soon afterward . </P> <P> The combined effects of the precursor low to Michael and a disturbance over the Pacific Ocean caused significant flooding across Central America . Nearly 2,000 homes in Nicaragua suffered damage and 1,115 people evacuated . A total of 253 and 180 homes were damaged in El Salvador and Honduras, respectively . More than 22,700 people were directly affected throughout the three countries . Catastrophic damage occurred in Mexico Beach, Florida, where the storm made landfall at peak intensity . Michael killed at least 60 people; at least 15 fatalities occurred across Central America: 8 in Honduras, 4 in Nicaragua, and 3 in El Salvador . In the United States, at least 45 were killed across Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia . Insured damage estimates in the United States ranged between $8--11 billion (2018 USD), as of October 15 . </P>
