Hurricanes and Lightning

The summer month of August is almost here and we are right in the middle of hurrican season, and we don't mean the football team! Hurricane season makes for some great photography. Last year, Hurricane Irene pushed up the East Coast. In Florida, the wind gusts were between 20 and 50 MPH while the waves were 5-12 ft high. Our first thought was "To the beach"! We arrived at the beach around 5 am and watched in awe at the swelling waves. A few surfers were out and we caught some great images, as you may remember from our Hurrican Irene Gallery on our website www.perronephotography.com. So far this year, we have had only one Tropical Storm, Debbie. Unfortunately, we did not have a chance to make it to the beach in pursuit of the perfect waves Debbie created. Living near the East Coast, there will be many chances to make up for missing Debbie. Tropical Storms frequent our summers in Florida. The image below is of Hurricane Irene from last year, taken at the Cocoa Beach Pier.
