My boss’s wife had her pelvis crushed by a log thrown by a sneaker wave at the end of last year

Sorry to hear that. They really are sneaky. Always keep one eye on the ocean.

I agree. That’s why I have a WebCam set up pointed at the ocean, and I keep that streaming window open at all times on my phone. Some folks here in Kansas say it makes me “distracted” or “an unsafe driver”, but you can never be too careful.

Thank you, that image is definitely going to stick in my mind now

(Tho, like, as a warning, that makes it pretty effective!)

My wife and I were crossing a stream near ruby Beach, when one hit. Nearly took my wife and dog in. She went from ankle deep to stomach deep in a split second. The image of the wave hitting her, and her chucking our dog to relative safety is burned into my brain. She was able to stop herself from being pulled out luckily, and our dog went under for a second but all was fine in the end
