Re: Santa Cruz Tsunami
Having worked in Santa Cruz, I can tell you that I feel no sympathy for these morons. The boat owners had 9 hours of warning to get their boats out to sea to protect them from this. The dozens of gawkers standing around waiting for the wave have the collective IQ of a shoe. Would have served them right to all be swept off and drowned. Also, you can't surf a tsunami. Surfing waves (regular waves on shore) are surface phenomenon caused by winds and storms. Tsunamis don't have a face. It's just a big up-swelling that comes in like a wall (as in this video). If you were on a beach, you wouldn't see a breaking wave. It would just be like the tide coming in. And in...and in...and in at 50mph until it's like 3 miles inland. |
