Hurricane Harvey
This heart-wrenching image was taken in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, one of the most devastating natural disasters in U.S. history. A drone was deployed over Houston to assess the massive damage and help with rescue efforts. What it captured was shocking—entire neighborhoods submerged, highways turned into rivers, and homes almost completely underwater. The storm caused over $125 billion in damage, and the image brings that number into visual reality.
The power of drone photography lies in its ability to show the full scale of a disaster in one frame. This photo doesn’t just document destruction—it tells the story of a community’s suffering and strength. It reflects both the fury of nature and the compassion of those who rushed to help. It’s a stark and moving reminder of how quickly life can be turned upside down by forces beyond our control.
