I just saw this article about how plovers depend on hurricanes to disrupt vegetation on barrier islands and create habitats where they can lay their eggs.
I don't know if you guys already read it I just thought you guys would find it interesting.

(Don't worry I promise I will post some more of my hurricane art later this summer...I just need to get it all together.)
