A crowd gathers to marvel at #hurricanemarie’s swells building in Newport Beach, California. “I wanted to capture the madness on the beach as well as the madness in the water,” says Instagrammer Justin Speaks (@jstnspks), who took this image in the storm's earliest legs at a popular surf spot called ‘The Wedge.’ “Everyone who has lived around here has seen hundreds of photos of this beach... but this is different. It's a very serious situation out there for the surfers.” Photo by @jstnspks
