Two boats were tossed against the shore in Cocoa Village by Hurricane Irma.
Hurricane Irma raged through Florida on Sept. 10, 2017. These are a few photos from before, during and mostly after the storm in east-central Florida, showing extensive damage along the Indian River Lagoon in Brevard County, specifically Rockledge and Cocoa.

Over the Banana River Lagoon at Cocoa Beach, the shelf cloud was scalloped. This was at 5:18 p.m.
Storms in Brevard County, Florida, on August 9 grew strong quickly, forming scalloped shelf clouds and dumping prodigious amounts of rain.
Rain forced me to cancel a portrait shoot, so I dashed across the Indian River Lagoon and shot the storm coming in over Cocoa, Florida, at 5:02 p.m.
I got ahead of the storms by rushing to Merritt Island and shooting back east at Cocoa, then continuing east to Cocoa Beach and ultimately Port Canaveral.
