I think when we look at that water coming in, we think "wave" and it's not so bad.

I think you are right; it's not what we are use to as a "wave."

In those videos, I kept waiting for the water to "go back out" but it never did; it just kept coming; it was like being inside the Titanic.

It looked like the ocean just spilled over the edge and kept spilling. Less wave-like, more wall-like.
