Panama City residents survey damage after Hurricane Michael
One of the most powerful storms ever to hit the continental U.S., Hurricane Michael left a vast trail of destruction across the Florida Panhandle; senior correspondent Rick Leventhal reports.
Florida residents attempting to flee their home during Hurricane Michael reportedly stumbled upon a few furry stowaways living in their attic.
As the family decided to abandon their Panama City residence due to a damaged ceiling, several kittens came tumbling out, WABC reported.

“When the ceiling come down, four kittens come down with it,” a resident told ABC News' Rob Marciano. “My cousin took the kittens and said, 'y'all aren't gonna die on our watch' and took them out the back door.”
The family were reportedly unaware that the furry creatures were living in their home.
Marciano, a reporter and meteorologist for ABC News, is helping to get them adopted, WABC reported.
“This little buggers need food & shelter ASAP. Please help!” he tweeted, along with a sweet photo of the animals wrapped in a towel.
