Hilton Head's Beauty
2017 • Hilton Head Island, SC, USA
Hilton Head Island has been a favorite vacation spot for my family for decades. In the fall of 2017, Hilton Head was hit by a massive hurricane. Before the storm, Hilton Head was a lush land full of different species of plants and animals, surrounded by beautiful beaches. The storm swept up so much of this beauty with it and left devastation in its tracks. I hope to see Hilton Head restore itself to its former beauty in years to come.
