June means we’ve officially entered hurricane season.
Hurricane’s are swirling, destructive tropical monsters that are rightfully feared all over the world. They’re one of the few things humanity is powerless against, and while that is terrifying - it’s also undeniably cool. And perhaps coolest of all is the eye of the hurricane - where the chaos and violence of the storm subsides at the center to create a cyclonical wall of serenity in sharp contrast with it’s surroundings.
Here are pics from inside the eye of some monster storms.
