Hurricane Irma demonstrated its sheer power as it sucked the waters from a beach in the Bahamas in a rare weather phenomenon. A video has emerged of the coastline on the usually idyllic Long Island completely drained after the Category 5 storm tore through the area.

Twitter user @Kaydi_K tweeted the video, which has been share over 80,000 times, saying: “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 wtf”.
