| Possible giant/Rogue Wave Hits in far Eastern Canada
EDIS CODE: GW-20080901-18314-CAN
Date & Time: 2008-09-01 09:42:53 [UTC]
Area: Canada, Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Middle Cove Beach, Middle Cove
Description:
Two adults and two children were taken to hospital to be checked out , after a giant wave hit Middle Cove beach. It happened around 8:30 last night, as sudden large waves swept up the beach and pulled several people into the water. Rolanda Ryan says several dozen people were enjoying bonfires along the beach when a giant wave came out of nowhere and rolled over them. As people ran for higher ground, strangers were helping strangers from being carried out to sea. She says there were many heroes, as strangers grabbed people from the ocean, to safety. Ryan says after the waves subsided they checked to make sure everyone was accounted for. She says bonds were made between strangers that will never be broken. She says they don't know their names, but they will remember their faces for saving people. The St.John's Regional Fire Department and the local volunteer fire department responded to the scene. There were no serious injuries. Police say everyone on the beach at the time of the incident appears to be accounted for and there were no vehicles left on the parking lot after people left the area.
