CARL AZUZ, cnn 10 ANCHOR: A very resilient state, that's what Governor Rick Scott says about Florida. The reason why is our first story today on cnn 10. After Hurricane Michael struck last Wednesday, Governor Scott toured the hardest hit areas. He described Mexico Beach, which apparently took the brunt of the storm as being like a war zone. U.S. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump joined the governor Monday after taking an aerial tour aboard Marine 1. The President was also expected to visit parts of Georgia that were hit.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Just making sure everyone is safe, that they’re fed. You know many of these people have no — they have no home. Some of them have no trace of a home. You wouldn`t even know, just got blown right off the footing.
CARL AZUZ: The Category 4 hurricane left behind clear examples of what a storm that strong could do. Dozens of beachfront homes are simply gone.
Some were lifted by waves and wind and carried to other places. In Mexico Beach, one resident says the Florida panhandle's still his home but he's going to rebuild somehow. Part of that resilience the governor spoke of. The city's police chief says search crews are looking for 30 to 35 people who are still missing. Officials have made progress in getting to the most heavily damaged parts of Florida.

Sears Roebuck and Company got it's name in 1893 though Richard W. Sears had been in business years before that.
Sears Holdings, the parent company of both Sears and K-Mart is filing for bankruptcy. It's been struggling for years and it had a debt payment that was due on Monday that it just couldn't afford to pay. Hundreds of Sears and K-Mart stores have already been closed this year. There are 700 that are still open and their parent company says that 142 of them will be closed in the weeks ahead. Bankruptcy does not necessarily mean that Sears is going out of business. Though, many companies that file for bankruptcy do. Sears Holdings is planning to keep open it's profitable stores along with it's websites. But as the company's future looks uncertain, it's past is an undeniable part of America's retail heritage.
