Gusts of winds up to 150mph caused havoc across Florida on Wednesday (October 10), seen here as a large tree toppled onto a nearby powerline in the Bay County area.<br /><br />The tree next to his house eventually gave way and can be seen slowly toppling down and uprooting completely, crushing the adjacent powerlines.<br /><br />The filmer sought refuge on his porch as the rain and stormy wind can be seen hammering down on local houses and the surrounding area. <br /><br />Hurricane Michael has since been downgraded to a Tropical Storm and has progressed from the Floridian panhandle, and made its way north to the Carolinas and Georgia.
