[quote:Anonymous Coward 19277494:MV8yMDExMDg3XzMzNzkzMDU5XzlDMTI3Nzg4] By the eye witness accounts taking in the time elapsed and the distance of the bay, the wave was traveling at approx 100mph. The amount of water being displaced by the energy of the wave would run the water up hill, reaching the 1720 foot mark, which is evidenced by the damage of the tree line on the outcrop directly opposite the rockfall. As the wave traveled towards the spit, the elevation of the new tree line growth drops, thereby proving that the wave itself was not 1720 feet high. The pics hold the evidence. BTW awesome post OP. The father and his son had one wild ride across the treetops. [/quote]
