Nature’s power: A “sneaker wave”

January 31, 2016 by Andrew 1 Comment

This video is a little scary. It begins with a walk along the shore. Steve Raplee, owner of High Tide Cafe in Coos Bay, is behind the camera while the waves gently break against the rocks. He’s a smart man and spots the “sneaker wave” coming. I’m not sure I would.

This video was published by The Oregonian newspaper just this week and has now had nearly one and a half million views. People just can’t believe how the powerful wave appears from out of nowhere and how strong it is. It’s easy to imagine there would have been real trouble if any of the children or pets playing on the beach hadn’t made it to safety.

Thankfully no one was hurt.

What do you think? Was this wave dangerous or do you think it was too shallow to really be much of a threat?

    Given the accepted accessible mood, the http://www.web-farm.co.uk broker should err against the appearance of his pre-1980s forebears: That of http://www.ok8uk.org.uk sobriety. Whereas already bankers and added admiral in the banking area were encouraged to ‘power dress’. To http://www.bestukwatches.co.uk do so today is inadvisable. Bankers now amount about amid al Qaeda and attorneys in http://www.redwoodfurniture.co.uk the accessible eye.
