FLORIDA — Videos and photographs documenting how Hurricane Irma sucked water away from several coastlines have gone viral online.

The phenomenon takes place when a strong hurricane creates low pressure, which draws water into the core of the storm, according to the Washington Post. For the next few hours, or possibly days, the storm actually changes the shape of the ocean.
