East Island has vanished after coming into contact with Hurricane Walaka, an intense storm that hit Hawaii earlier this month

 

A piece of the United States has been dramatically wiped off the map after an island in Hawaii was washed away by a powerful hurricane.

 

East Island, a remote spit of gravel and sand that sat atop a coral reef, has vanished after having this misfortune to come into contact with Hurricane Walaka, an intense storm that surged past Hawaii earlier this month.

Also, the endangered Monk Seals. Hardly see them around the islands anymore.
