Title: Rogue Wave on the beach!
Post by: Michael Alexander on September 04, 2008, 03:49:01 PM
I heard another interesting tale today... about a chap who was driving on the beach in his cruiser on one of the mornings of the weekend..... when suddenly outta the blue...a rogue wave rolled his landcruiser over.....then the backwash pulled it back upright again....the engine would'nt start and now the car is in the garage for repairs.... the wife and kids were in the car at the time.... just to give you an idea of how big the surf was here, the waves actually came up over the beach and flowed down to the road between the braai shelters..... now you know why the seawall went..... the ocean is a changing.....

not That Day Sandy "THE Day"  our time...yes more than once reached the road. Maybe the ocean is just adjusting itself to the way it should be, like back in "THE day"
