Description
This photo was captured in Destin Beach, Florida while I was evacuating from my house as Hurricane Irma was approaching. Irma did not hit Destin but the hurricane was so big that it covered most of Florida. What attracted me at that time were the footprints in the sand. The footprints together with the ominous clouds made a perfect picture.
Hurricane Irma was an extremely powerful and catastrophic Cape Verde type hurricane, the most intense observed in the Atlantic since Dean in 2007. It was also the most intense Atlantic hurricane to strike the United States since Katrina in 2005, and the first major hurricane to make landfall in Florida since Wilma in 2005. The ninth named storm, fourth hurricane, and second major hurricane of the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season, Irma caused widespread and catastrophic damage throughout its long lifetime, particularly in parts of the northeastern Caribbean and the Florida Keys.

Had to revisit to tweet this fabulous image Felix. The depth of the color, shadows and textures is enormous.
