It happened right at high tide so SC harbor spilling is not too surprising. That placed got worked in the Fukishima tsunami.

The water rose and dipped about 2 feet in SB this AM. But that wasn't the spectacle. It was much better. There was a soccer ball on the beach and a dog went after it, then swam after it, and kept swimming, and swimming. And swimming. And swimming.

The owner went after it and came back to the beach totally defeated, and completely purple. A small crowd formed and appeared to be tsunami lookie loos but everyone was watching this go down. Nobody gaf about the tsunami. The dog swam at least a half fckng mile out and you could see its head and the ball PAST the buoy. At that point someone called HP and they were on it. By the time they got there the dog had swam NW at least 500-1000 yards up from the buoy. When they returned to the harbor, the dog was covered in a blanket, gnawing on the ball. It was eating the ball the entire ride back to the harbor. They literally had to pry it away to get it off the boat. Once it was on the dock, hind and front legs folding and buckling, it was still all about the ball. Most determined fvckng dog I've ever seen in my life.

Just got some reports from friends who were out during the tsunami, a lot of current and a few abnormal waves that came out of nowhere, lots of paddling.

Closer to the action


Everyone is lucky it was "small". Probably bad in some harbors or floating docks

Kauai's north shore ~
Keep off the beaches this morning, that's for sure.

Reports of serious damage coming in from HI.
Felipe Pomar, looked out his window and went back to sleep in Hanalei. "de nada"
Cancelled in Hawaii at 0808hrs.
You ... should read the story about Felipe and his Friend riding a real Tidal wave in Peru years ago. National hero's. Felipe has recounted his story to a few of us here :oops: :bowdown:

It's like a King Tide in Cali ~ :nana:
