As Atlantic coastlines in western Europe suffer increasingly violent wobble-induced tides, astonished residents are discovering firsthand the power of water on the move.

 

 

"The Earth wobble takes the form of a Figure 8, when seen from above the N Pole. For Europe, as we described in 2007, this forces Europe to tilt toward the northwest when the Sun is over Europe, to be followed by a swing of N America to the northeast as the Sun moves overhead there. This combined action acts like a pump, creating a void or vacuum of low air pressure in the N Atlantic. Warm humid air is pulled up into the N Atlantic. Cold air rushes down to fill the void, and swirling begins due to the Coriolis effect.

"Will this mean continuous hurricane activity along the European coast? This will be the minor effect, as with an increased wobble the storm surge will likewise increase, sending unprecedented high tides into the lowlands of Europe."

Rogue Wave Engulfs Oregon Beach (Jan 24)

A huge wave suddenly overtook an Oregon beach, sending people scrambling to safety.

Steve Raplee said he recorded the video not far from the restaurant he owns in Charleston, roughly 100 miles southwest of Eugene, on the Pacific Ocean.

"Uh oh, time to go here," Mr Raplee mutters during the video as he pans the coastline before yelling out to the others to "get out of the way!"

Frightful screams and a dog barking can be heard in the background as everyone safely scrambles up the dunes.

'Get out of here!' The shocking moment a freak wave wipes out beachgoers paddling in a rockpool... as rescue helicopters are called to lift the injured to safety

  • The rogue wave hit visitors at Sydney's Royal National Park on Saturday 
  • Shocking video shows when hundreds of swimmers are smashed by wave 
  • Swimmers try to run for safety but they cant escape the freak wave
  • Two rescue helicopters were deployed to the scene, airlifting three women 
  • Park rangers warn visitors to exercise care when walking along the coast

Distressing footage has emerged of the moment keen weekend beach revelers were catapulted along a rocky foreshore by a rogue wave at Sydney's Royal National Park.

In the video concerned swimmers scream out to those further out in the surf to get out of the water as the wave encloses on them. 

'Get out,' shouts the cameraman.

'Oh F**K brace yourselves!' Yells one man who is stationed higher up on the foreshore. 

As swimmers try run for safety, the rogue wave sweeps them off their feet and painful screams emerge from its wake.

Emergency services were called to the park's figure eight rock pools, on Saturday at 3pm, after around 100 people were smashed by the powerful wave - leaving some with serious injuries.

Two rescue helicopters were deployed to the scene, airlifting three women to St George Hospital.

A 22-year-old woman suffering from severe head injuries and a 53-year-old woman with a suspected broken ankle were among the worst injuries.

A 20-year-old woman was also airlifted after being bowled over by the freak wall of water and hitting her head. 

All three have now been discharged.

VIDEO: Monster Wave Knocks Woman off Cliff in Ireland (Apr 15)

A 21-year-old tourist from London escaped a near-fatal accident when a massive wave swept her off a cliff in Ireland.

Apu Gupta was taking video at the Wormhole on the Aran Islands when a giant wave sent her tumbling on to the rocks 40 feet below.

“I tried to run, but it pushed me straight down. It was like being in a waterfall and that probably cushioned the fall,” Gupta told the Irish Times News. “I was so scared because I thought the wave was going to come again.”

“My ankle was completely smashed and the pain was bad.”

Gupta, who was visiting the islands with her mom, told the newspaper.

Luckily, two other tourists -- a paramedic and a teacher -- were there at the time and immediately sprung into action. While one called 999 for help, the other tourist ran to the nearest house to get help.

The pair, now aided by the help of others, created a makeshift rescue rope using a backpack and jacket to help pull Gupta out of the rushing water.

Gupta, a student of economics in London, was taken to a local hospital to be treated for her ankle injury.

French Reporter Slammed by Giant Wave (Feb 20)

A French weather forecaster became a victim of the harsh seas pounding the French Atlantic coast today, when a massive wave swept her away live on television.

Fanny Agostini was reporting on the freak French weather from Rochebonne, west France, for French news channel BFM TV when the body of water knocked her off her feet.

In the footage captured today, a cameraman filming next to the broadcast is seen pointing out the massive wave as it approached Agostini and her camera crew.

Pacific Wave Bombs Wreak Havoc in California (Mar 1)

Video of wave crashing through the Moby Dick restaurant in Santa Barbara:

 

Heavy surf on March 1st caused damage and minor injuries along the Central California coast.

In Santa Barbara County, strong waves sent water crashing into a beachside restaurant in Goleta, sweeping an employee out into the ocean and underneath the pier, where he was later able to get out of the water. Another employee was pushed back inside the restaurant by a rogue wave but was not seriously hurt.

The powerful waves also flooded Hardy's restaurant with seawater, broke windows and toppled furniture.

A fierce wave also broke the windows at a nearby beachside restaurant, the Moby Dick at the Santa Barbara Pier.

At the north end of Monterey Bay, strong waves apparently broke through the foundation of a seaside home, creating a blowhole on the driveway and shooting water over the roof.

Also, a stretch of the oceanfront drive in Santa Cruz was shut down Saturday after a large sinkhole appeared in a cliff, opening the roof of a cave where homeless people have lived.

Huge Waves Trap Residents While Causing Electrical Fire (Feb 14)

Three neighbours have described narrowly escaping with their lives after thundering waves and gale force winds trapped them inside a house during an electrical fire.

Mum of two, Julia McIntosh and her engaged friends, Laura White and Alex Anderson, are lucky to be alive following the devastation caused by the wild storm which hit East Portholland on Friday, February 14.

The couple were helping Miss McIntosh, a fashion photographer for Cornwall Life magazine, mop flood water from her living room when a large wave hit the terrace house trapping the its occupants and triggering an electrical fire.

Miss McIntosh said: “It was horrific.

“In the 20 years I have lived in East Portholland I have never been scared for my life, but all three of us could quite easily have been swept out to sea.”

“We just heard this roar which sounded like an aeroplane engine and then the wave hit.

“It felt like we were in a tsunami. It was just like being in a terrible movie.”

Although the windows of the terrace house were boarded up, the huge swell forced its way through the front door and the inner storm door, pushing Miss White across the room and slamming her in to the staircase.

“It all happened so quickly. I remember standing by the door and the next thing I knew I was the other side of the room covered in water and aching from where the wave hit,” Miss White explained.

With sea water up to their knees, matters were made worse by the ignition of an electrical fire.

Miss White said: “We just heard this sparking and sizzling and then a fire erupted from the extension cord and we ran to the top of the stairs.

“It was terrifying as water and electricity is clearly not a good mix.”

By now the trapped trio were keen to get out of the house.

But the power of the large wave had crashed the front door into the living room, blocking their escape.

Miss McIntosh said: “Laura and I were hysterical and it was Alex who kicked through the door and got us all out.

We had to run under the fire and in to the waves to get out, so it was pretty scary.”

The three friends finally made it back to Miss White and Mr Andersons’ house where they called for the fire brigade.

After five days none of them can quite believe what happened.

Miss McIntosh said: “I am still in shock. All I remember is just seeing fire and water.”

No one was hurt during the ordeal, but the storm has caused extensive damage to the ground floor of Miss McIntosh’s home.

Many of the photographer’s possessions have been lost and all of her furniture and carpets have been ruined.

The devastated mother and son are currently living with family until her house is habitable again.

Cargo Ship Loses Over 500 Shipping Containers in Rough Seas Off France (Feb 14)
Amid hurricane force winds and 30-ft waves, the Svendborg began losing containers off northern France in the Bay of Biscay.

After the ship arrived in the Spanish port of Malaga, Danish shipping company Maersk discovered that about 520 containers were unaccounted for. Stacks of others had collapsed.

It's the biggest recorded loss of containers overboard in a single incident.

The shipping giant initially reported 70 containers had slipped into the sea off Brittany when the storm lashed the west of the country, causing giant waves offshore but on Wednesday it said that, in fact, the figure was 520.

Maersk Line says customer service representatives will keep shippers informed of the status of their cargo as soon as it has been accurately assessed and Palle Laursen, Vice President of Operations, Maersk Line, said:

"The total number of lost containers turned out to be even worse than we feared. Svendborg Maersk experienced extreme weather conditions, but also unexpectedly forceful impact on its movements. We will now carefully examine our procedures to see if they need correction in order to avoid similar incidents in the future. As of now we remain focused on supporting our vessel crew and are dedicated to getting correct information about lost or delayed cargo to our customers and ultimately get the ship back in service as soon as possible.”

French Environmental group Robin des Bois on Friday announced that it was making a legal complaint against the company in the Brittany port of Brest, accusing it of "endangering lives" and pollution and "abandoning waste".

Containers are "a permanent danger for fishermen, coastal communities and the environment", the group said, accusing Maersk and the crew of the boat, Svendborg Maersk, of "unacceptable light-mindedness".

Most containers won't float for long, especially in heavy seas. But one that is refrigerated may be buoyed by its insulation, and the use of polystyrene as packaging for goods also aids flotation. New Zealand marine insurer Vero Marine says a 20-foot container can float for up to two months, and a 40-foot container might float more than three times as long.

Coastguards have sent helicopters at the company's expense to try to find the lost objects but had only recovered 13 by February 21.
