The sky above Pensacola Beach, Florida was a beautiful splash of colors during sunset on Tuesday, October 9, a day before Hurricane Michael's projected landfall.

This video, filmed at about 6 pm that evening, shows roaring waves against the backdrop of a picturesque sky.

Hurricane Michael grew to a Category 3 storm earlier in the day, and authorities say it could be upgraded to a Category 4 just before landfall, which is expected tomorrow.

As Hurricane Michael churned in the Gulf of Mexico, tourists and Florida residents flocked to Pensacola Beach to view a stunning sunset Tuesday evening. The hurricane, currently a category three, is expected to make landfall Wednesday as a possible category four, making it one of the strongest hurricanes the Florida Panhandle has seen in years.
