Residents across the Peach State are waking up to assess the damage left behind as the former Hurricane Michael carved a path across central and south Georgia overnight Thursday. The storm, which has left hundreds of thousands of people without power, is also responsible for the death of an 11-year-old girl in the southwest corner of the state.

The girl died when debris fell onto her family's trailer in Seminole County, which is located on the Georgia-Alabama-Florida border, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. As of 8 a.m. Thursday, Poweroutage.us notes there are more than 320,000 Georgia residents without power. The hardest hit counties include 99 percent of residents in Stewart and Grady counties are without power, as are 98 percent citizens in Decatur, Worth and Lee counties, 97 percent of residents in Seminole, Dougherty and Randolph counties, 96 percent residents in Miller and Mitchell counties, 87 percent of Calhoun County residents and about 86 percent of citizens in Sumter County.
