How difficult would it be to emphasize the date at the outset or to somehow indicate that this had occurred a very long time ago?

[Robert DeLong]

Looks like a Cadillac to me. 🙂

Uh if you read the date, and I also emphasized that this article was from over 30 years ago.

undersea landslides caused by President Trump and MagaPeople must be outlawed in order to save the beachfront properties of liberal bidenboobs. signed: too stopid to know the difference.

Looks like a Cadillac to me.

Well back then(70's) all the GM models looked the same.

“The freak wave, estimated at 27 miles long and 250 feet wide, apparently was caused by shifting sands from an underwater landslide, said Frank Baldwin, a senior seismologist for the U.S. Geological Survey in Washington, D.C.

In other words, it was actually a tsunami. JMO.

Florida has lots of long beaches because were surrounded by water on three sides. And years ago roads were more limited. That said, you’re right. Car droppings are awful on a beach.

Thirty years ago -- interesting bit of Florida history. I'm sure all that salt water did those cars a world of good.

I'd blame global warming but that hadn't been invented yet.

Not a one E.V. back 30 years ago. Salt is not an E.V.’s friend.

[DallasBiff]

Well the Chevy Malibu and Monte Carlo. were two different cars.

The Monte Carlo was "top of the line" for Chevy in 77, and then GM downsized, all their cars in 78.

I had a 76 Chevy Impala, with only an AM radio, that thing was a boat.

>> July 5th.....yep, fake news.

lol, exactly. Never trust a story dated July 5th!

[chajin]

Used to go to Daytona Beach every year for August vacation between summer and fall classes. Remember the year we couldn’t walk the pier, and could still see the leftover damage from the wave. (Stayed at the Ocean Sands, which is no longer there.)

[CodeToad]

I blame the whales.

This is a picture of a 1977 Malibu:

Nope. 1974 or 75. The 76 and 77 Malibus had stacked headlights.

[logi_cal869]

Idiots.

[TalBlack]

I seem to recall a rogue wave as being somehow activated by a certain timing of regular wave action. Since It was caused by a shifting of the seabed isnt this wave something of a small tsunami?

Looks more like a Caddy to me.
