If you’re a professional, and you’re properly prepared for the assignment, there’s nothing inherently wrong with taking pictures during a hurricane. If, on the other hand, you’re just an amateur wanting to get some ‘cool’ smartphone shots of nature’s fury, you might end up like this guy.
The video above was captured by Google’s webcam from the southernmost point in the United States in Key West, Florida. As you can see, a man was walking around trying to capture a photo of Hurricane Irma as it rolled into the Keys, when mother nature decided to remind him who’s boss. A stray wave comes in and wipes him out, blowing him straight off the ledge he was standing on.
Fortunately, he seems to walk away unscathed, if a bit shaken up by the whole experience.
