Does anyone know why there is a buoy in the Gulf of Mexico that is in Event Mode? If you look at the website, there is a blinking yellow triangle located in the gulf. If you click on it, a graph will open showing a wave event and the description below says Tsunami station in event mode.

The flashing buoy I see is not in the Gulf of Mexico.

It’s way out in the Atlantic Ocean.

I’m thinking a malfunction of some kind.

“Event Mode” is qualified as being within the past 24 hours. It’s not as if some wave action necessarily just set the thing off, it could have been as long ago as last night.

The bouy is reporting some really big waves.

It has been doing so for long enough that the bouys near it should also be reporting big waves.

Since this is the only bouy reporting these waves, it seems reasonable that the bouy is malfunctioning.

Thats just a bunch of cubans floating over on a 57 chevy.

They are going to drive it right onto the turnpike and drive 10 miles under the speed limit in the left lane.

If it is just one, it could be a malfunction or something bumped into it.

LOL Not that I'm critiquing the whys or wherefores here, but what prompted you to A: peruse the oceanic buoy data at this time of night, and B: start a thread here on it? Just curious, to be honest. I do weird shit like this, too, from time to time.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."
