Each year the threat of hurricanes troubles Atlantic coastal residents. The Atlantic hurricane season lasts six months it starts in June and ends in November. Hurricanes are unpredictable, unstoppable and can form very quickly. They have the potential devastating power to case massive destruction over a large area.
Hurricanes transform water into an unimaginable destructive force. As the hurricane wind speed increases to higher and greater velocities, the ocean waves of water grow increasingly larger and more powerful.
When hurricane Opal made landfall in 1995 near the Florida Panhandle, the destruction it caused was widespread. The small resort town of Mexico Beach Florida was hit very hard. After the hurricane, almost all of the beach homes were damaged. Many of the beach houses were swept away entirely never to be seen again. There was little or no evidence of their previous existence.
As the powerful waves crash onto the shore, the water sweeps inward and pushes a path forward.
The ocean is a wonderful place to visit. The sweet smell of the cool sea breeze and the sound of the waves rolling on shore are very calming and relaxing.
A peaceful beach with soft waves lazily rolling on shore. When hurricane winds start to blow, these calm waves can quickly turn into rolling storm waves.
Blessings.
Sincerely,
