Update 8:56 AM EDT -- NASA advises that a small meteor could have impacted the ocean in that area, from the Lyrid Meteor Shower, which peaked last night. Normally, the small meteors from this annual event never make it to the surface of the earth; they usually burn up in our atmosphere before reaching the ground. HOWEVER, it is possible that a small meteor, perhaps the size of a softball, made it to the ocean and, upon impact at 14,000 MPH, would cause quite a localized wave. There is no way to verify this possibility.
LOL
I never worry about 14,000 mph meteors.
Now, if it had been going 15,000 mph....
Your shore property is most likely fine! every where i went looked fine. yesterday arrived at cape may — left 8:30 EDST.. the restaurant where we ate luch yesterday advertises that it is 14 feet above sea level.
That definitely falls under “pulling one out of your ass” in the government explanation department...
I wonder if a fishing net snag could cause that.
