Giant waves hit North coast Trinidad

<snip>
THERE WAS panic yesterday at Maracas Beach, when a series of towering waves, many more than 25 feet high, sent seabathers, vendors and lifeguards running for their lives..."Wave after wave just came gushing inside the stall and I wondered if we were going to experience a tsunami. It's the worst I've ever seen in Maracas.

"We started piling sand around the stall to stop the water, but the waves just came and pushed the sand down. You could imagine waves breaking on the sand. It was just madness.

"Maybe if they didn't move the seawall, it might not have been so bad."

Environmentalist Dr Julian Kenny said: "It's just erratic storm activity. There hasn't been any major earthquake activity to generate these waves. It's a bit unusual, but it's just normal storm activity-it's normal to have extremes. "

Mother Nature very angry. Hmm time to move to high ground and inland grrr.

We need to be smart and save the trees
before the weather changes and we all freeze

Stop driving Hummers and SUV's
you could drive a Prius or cars like these.

Stop sending recources to the nearest landfill
cause it's our children that will have to pay the bill

Break it down now,
ohhhhh

Recycle,
Recycle,
Recycle,
Recycle.

Sorry I watched Bulworth last night and had to answer it with a rap.

Or at the very least, it isn't typical

'Bake and shark vendor Vilma Guerra, 42, who was born and has lived all her life in Maracas, recounted what she described as a "day of horror".'

and they say its due to weather not earthquake :crazy:

The coast of Guyana is like New Orleans - way below sea level and exposed to the Atlantic.

In Barbados several fishing boats were damaged as huge waves hit the East coast. Lots of unstable weather in the Caribbean right now.

Better keep an eye on Wilma.

the day of horror or that delish Trini 'bake and shark'?
