This isn't the greatest photo. I was driving south of where I live back in 2003. We narrowly avoided a major hurricane coming through our area, but unfortunately for the folks to the south, they got hit hard. I was driving, so I didn't have much opportunity to take pictures. The devastation was vast. Months after the storm, there were still some trees in the road and most of the buildings sustained moderate to severe damage. This was around the Fort Myers Cape Coral area.

Daaaaamn, Alex! That looks awful. I feel so badly for all the folks that were affected.

That's a good reminder of how quickly life can change and how powerful Mother Nature is.

Good snapshot of history and circumstance!

Good impression (both image and narrative) of what has happened, Alex. Lisa said it so well in her above comment too.
In the past (during my active career) I've encountered many heavy storms at sea, but mostly we (my crew and me) were prepared by good forecasting systems, with minor damage as result, but think the people were surprised by the suddenly approaching hurricane.
Hope there weren't people killed or injured, my friend.

Rather sad than manic Alex. I too have had hurricanes and typhoons at sea but as Cornelius wrote we had good warning systems and were able to avoid the worst.

There was much more serious damage that I didn't capture.

A great memory to remember what nature can deal you.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
