Hurricane Ian's devastating damage has been laid bare in shocking before and after photos taken in the US state of Florida.
The US National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration has released images which show the devastating effects of the extreme weather event.
The hurricane made landfall in Florida at the end of September when it was categorised as a category four storm after earlier laying waste to Cuba.
Governor Ron DeSantis described it as a once-in-500-year flood that impacted the whole state and left millions of people without power.
As the images show, it has in some areas led to the complete destruction of large swathes of coastal towns and properties.
It also reportedly claimed more than a hundred lives as a direct result of the storm.
The NOAA images captured the images to help with damage estimates, as a grim tally of the destruction slowly starts to take place.
Most of the damage wrought was in southwest Florida which was the worst hit from flooding, caused by storm surges and rainfall.
But as locals are left to pick up the pieces from the crushing storm, the effects were soon felt.
A cemetery in Oakland, which is less than 20 miles from Orlando, saw horrendous flooding which led to the bodies of loved ones bobbing around.
The grim scenes saw one casket floating around the graveyard as residents and family members rushed to the scene.
Some of the caskets were opened up after fallen trees had landed on the bodies after Oakland experienced "historic flooding".
One man had recently buried his grandmother in the graveyard just last week and was having to rush to the cemetery to ensure she was still there.
The graveyard will be shut for a few months due to the damage with funerals also being suspended as locals try and repair the damage done.
It comes after a pier in South Carolina was damaged by the storm as coastal structures faced an onslaught of horrendous winds.
The pier on Pawleys Island saw bits of structure fall away and "float south" during the life-threatening storm.
Boats were also seen on top of each other on Fort Myers beach along with cars who were found under the debris of collapsed buildings.
Meanwhile, hospitals in Florida are having to rebuild some departments after Fort Myers hospital was significantly damaged during the storm.
Infants were transferred via ambulances and the babies in need of desperate treatment were taken by helicopter due to damage in maternity wards.
Hospitals were also affected by power cuts as more than 2.3million homes and businesses went without power during the storm last Thursday.
Electrical lines went down in Naples, Florida as many residents were left without clean water, power, and heating.
President Biden approved a disaster declaration, making federal resources available to areas impacted by the storm.
