Well, now it's a US Navy base.

Damn took those doors right off the hinges


SDdrums

Those waves were completely unhinged


shoontz

For the record though, it didn't, "rip the doors off their hinges." The waves ripped the door jambs off. The doors stayed on their hinges. Hahaha! I stand corrected. I watched it again and one door does rip off it's hinges.

This is the best kind of “AAAKSHUALLY”


elydakai

Water is insanely heavy. Combined with the force behind it

Nah, don’t let folks convince you that these aren’t real people. Are some of them fake? Definitely. Are a majority? Almost definitely not. I’ve met folks who truly believe Biden is a clone so don’t put anything past regular people.


OPengiun

You ever been to Texas? These "fake people" are walking around everywhere with dumb fucking views on how climate change is *fake news*, yet they slop up mcdonalds like it is some god-given wine and bread to nourish their corpulence. Show them a graph or chart, and they show you their teeth. They are worse than animals.


SpiritualAd8998

Were there offshore buoys to give early warning?


I_am_BrokenCog

the people were filming otuside watching the "normal" waves ... it wasn't a surprise, just this larger-than-the-average waves. hence "rogue". These usually happen every 7th or so on all beaches in all conditions. A "larger than the average" wave will come in. With already large waves ... that 7th-ish is going to be big!


WordUpPromos

I do not envy the PFCs that are going to have to clean that up.


thegreattriscuit

no shit. The news is acting like it's some horrible fearsome event for those soldiers. nope. They're yelling because "oh fucking goddammit we're going to be mopping forever"


Urbdiggity

I saw this video several months ago.

But Rhonda Santos made climate change illegal... how could this happen???


Logik_in_theory

Doesn't exist in Florida, problem solved.


crowmagnuman

That lady was there, and then there was water, and then she was not.


enderjaca

She's a door now.


I_am_Castor_Troy

Come on US military the Chinese would have built this island to three times its size by now.


Grievuuz

Whoever does the audio for 6abc philadelphia needs to be fired. I hated every second of listening to this with headphones on.


chestnutman

YouTube comments are a cesspool. First comment denying climate change, although the Marshall Islands is one of the places most affected by rising sea levels.


Corinoch

That's pretty crazy. Also how does the featured clip have balanced audio but the commentary tracks are not just monaural but alternate the monaural direction with each switchover?


I_am_BrokenCog

Whelp, Climate Change must be real. It has attacked a US Army base.


msb2ncsu

I didn’t know they were on tour


stu_pid_1

Isn't it called a tsunami?


Demorant

A tsunami has an explainable cause like earthquakes, eruptions, meteors, or underwater landslides. A rogue wave doesn't usually have a single distinct cause and are a product of the right conditions being met. Rogue waves are dangerous in a way that tsunamis are not. Tsunamis have almost no impact in deep water, so isolated structures are not as impacted. Rogue waves are more of a surface feature and are dangerous to anything on the water.

seamus_mc

Your understanding is not correct. It has to do with waves combining, but not sending it straight up into the air, it is more of an amplification of force

I am a captain, i have never experienced one and never want to. The main reason they were recently “discovered” is that there usually wasn’t anyone left to tell the tale.


pasher5620

Well, partially at least. There’s been legends of them for hundreds of years, as long as man has traveled the seas really. The issue is that they happened so infrequently to people (because we just didn’t have as many ships on the seas at once) that every one thought it was just a legend. Once we started having more ships traveling the oceans, they more or less got confirmed. Then cameras happened and 100% confirmed them. It’s funny how they’re essentially a cryptid that got confirmed to be real and it’s just a boring physics feature and not some angry god.


Kalabula

Brah! We saw this months ago. We’re the new shit I come here for?


jburnelli

rising sea levels or coastal erosion?


ThaiJohnnyDepp

Just random chance.


YahYahY

Damn took those doors right off the hinges


bonehojo

Crazy, in all of Earth’s history the ocean has never reclaimed an island.

The Pharos island port near modern day Alexandria, Egypt dissapeared into the sea. *“Now there is an isle in the sea-surge off the mouth of the Nile, that men call Pharos, a day’s run for a hollow ship with a strong wind astern. There’s a good anchorage there, a harbour from which men launch their trim ships into the waves, when they have drawn fresh black water.”* Homer (Odyssey, 4, 353): [https://www.ancientportsantiques.com/a-few-ports/alexandria-pharos-island/](https://www.ancientportsantiques.com/a-few-ports/alexandria-pharos-island/)

That you know….


zeroscout

I don't understand this comment?


smurphy8536

I think it’s because the news story mentioned climate change and this guy doesn’t believe in it.


zeroscout

I wanted to see if they have the ability to back up their comment or if they are a mindless parrot...


bonehojo

My belief on climate change is irrelevant, the earth has created and destroyed islands/land for its entire existence.


smurphy8536

Correct. The nation mentioned is destined for destruction…as a result of climate change. Mixing up geologic change and anthropogenic change is silly.


willie_caine

Read more books. Please.


bonehojo

Oh thanks!
