Extraordinary footage from the Bahamas show the shoreline receded much farther than normal, exposing what is usually the ocean floor.
Twitter user @Kaydi_K from Long Island, Bahamas wrote on Friday: 'I am in disbelief right now... This is Long Island, Bahamas and the ocean water is missing!!! That's as far as they see #HurricaneIrma.'
The strange video shows her walking on the exposed ocean floor which is dry and covered in large shells. Another Twitter user tweeted a photo of the exposed beach at a different beach in the Bahamas and showed it was back to normal within less than a day.
Hurricane Irma, which hit the Bahamas on Friday, is so powerful that it has altered the shape of the ocean in Long Island, but it will likely be back to normal by Sunday afternoon.
You don't want to see that if you live in an earthquake zone since it's the sign of a coming tsunami. The water gets sucked out and then comes roaring back. Run for high ground!
that is interesting, my first question though is, how deep is the ocean at that point? i suspect less than 20ft right there, and considering how much water gets moved around by powerful storms, it doesnt surprise me that much.
remember the water is getting pulled in at least two directions by irma and jose behind it.

Not surprised at it at all it is the biggest hurricane in 10 years taking in all that water.
