...he was up to his waste in water... okay, okay. waste=WAIST
Just goes to show ya that my seventeen years of education were wasted.. As for the ship, some of the metal railing was actually bent over from that wave as well.

I don't know if this is what you are talking about or not , but I was standing on the beach on one of the Hawaiian Islands watching the waves roll in. The waves were small all about 3 feet. A big wave rose up right at the shoreline. The water sucked back out & made about a 15 ft tall wave that came crashing down on the beach. I turned & ran but it caught up with me & came up to about my waist. This wave did not appear to come from out in the ocean but it leaped up right where the other waves had been breaking. Maybe this happens a lot in the Pacific but I am a Gulf Coast girl & it scared me to death. I had never seen a wave that big.

Thanks for the lyrics! I played that song the other day for my kids after telling them the story of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

I was searching and found this article. What did the scientists end up saying caused the wave... landslide, waves doubling up? I remember that wave in Daytona quite well, as I was living in Volusia County at the time.
Amazing there were no deaths from the "rogue" wave.

She may have died, but, you know, there's got to be a morning after. Rimshot!

So, is this what happened to MH 370?

And they were mourning after the morning after.

I checked again. It’s still not in my back yard.
But my neighbor’s acting suspicious.
