"after it hit vicious seas in an overnight storm off Florida - then was creamed by the rogue wave after dawn."
Bermuda Triangle?
There's been a low pressure S.E. of Hatteras for a couple of days now. Things should be calming down on the US coastlines by today/tomorrow.
There were reports of 17' surf at Hatteras Saturday morning.
You betcha. Those space aliens (not to be confused by the wetback marauders) are at it again. ;)
One of the (rational) explanations for the Triangle is rogue waves.
Don't act suspicious!
