    For centuries, mariners have spun tales of gargantuan waves, 100-feet high or taller. Until recently scientists dis­missed these stories - waves that high would seem to violate the laws of physics. But in the past few decades, as a startling number of ships vanished and new evidence has emerged, oceanographers realized something scary was brewing in the planet’s waters. They found their proof in February 2000, when a British research vessel was trapped in a vortex of impossibly mammoth waves in the North Sea - including several that approached 100 feet.

    Story

    Perhaps the intended audience is extreme surfers, I found this book lacking in the information about tsumanis and rogue waves that i had expeced. She just touches on those subjects.
    The narrator has a pleasant voice but she needed to practice her Hawaiian pronounciation. it's HA LAY AHH KA LA (meaning house of the sun, "house" being "hale") and she butchered the name of the Filippino dialog. Just saying...it was hard to get my brain back to listening after the assaults on the Hawaiian language.
