This is an image provided by Google Earth of Mexico Beach, FL before Hurricane Michael and an image provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of Mexico Beach after Hurricane Michael. The destruction is clear in this image with the contrast of the clear lines of roads and buildings on the left, and the speckled rubble on the right. Street names have to be used as labels in the image on the right to provide context to where the streets once were. The breakwater at the end of the canal is gone in the image on the right and the sediment deposition is drastically changed as a result of the storm surge. The piers on the left have also been clearly destroyed. This image was posted in a Pensacola News Journal article, Mexico Beach has already begun recovery efforts.
