Okay, this was Kwajalein Atoll island of Roi-Namur on 22 Jan 24. One person injured but recovering. Wind and storm surge caused it, but it could have been MUCH worse if not at LOW tide.
Roi-Manur
Kwajalein Atoll is the world’s largest atoll- about 90 miles across. It sits about the same distance more than the trip from Los Angeles to Hawaii. Roi-Manur is sort of on the northeast corner of the atoll. We had a three week or so job on the atoll in the mid 70s and one weekend we took the plane to Roi. The Japanese had a presence in the area in WWII and built a significant of concrete defensive structures. I think on Manur,the smaller island?. They were still there in the 70s in good shape. (Roi and Manur were two islands until the Americans built a causeway joining them. When we left, there was another passenger carrying a 2 ft diameter clam shell and we realized that we should have done our snorkelling there instead of the picked over area around Kwajalein Island.
