I know it happened over 30 years ago, but it is one of those stories, that were never widely reported.

Never been a fan of beaches that allow vehicles.

We must stop all undersea landslides. Take the bus and eat ze bugs.

No photos or vids at the link…documentation for the story lacking.

It’s those gas stoves and hot water heaters

Why is this post ?

Should post an Ocala Star Banner column from 2019, referencing a 1920 article about the threat of Bubonic Plague in rats. Knowing that the importance of zoonotic diseases is under~emphasized, why? Why?

Lightning strikes kill, news at 11.

Seriously? Stupid stunt.

Too bad there wasn’t a red tide at the same time.

Then they would have had a rouge rogue wave.

(Okay, I’m making fun of a commonly seen misspelling of “rogue.”)

Filler for a slow news day? Covering for the Bidens?

We know that AP is staffed by idiots, but I could do without constant reminders.

“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.

Authorities ruled out a tidal wave, and no seismic activity was recorded in the Atlantic Ocean at the time, Baldwin said. A weather service meteorologist said it wasn’t weather-related.”

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.

I'm compiling a list of FReepers interested in Florida-related topics.

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

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.)

[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?

[devane617]

1992?

I remember that.

That was about a month before Hurricane Andrew..
