Comments: With a record four hurricanes hitting Florida in succession in 2004, and multiple Caribbean islands wiped out completely - only the very well prepared were spared the kinda heartache and soul destroying hollowness that complete loss brings. This couple is preparing for a hurricane by shuttering and securing permenant, above code, metal shutters. Enormous hurricane files, not just damage, but prep work by commercial, government and private residents and agencies, maps and tracking, people, follow-up years later, same spot images before during after and later. Very much a hurricane specialist and agency for storm images. Fine art to editorial. Beautiful destruction.
