Hurricane Rick waves in Melaque

Vern sent me a link to the video he took yesterday - check it out

Hurricane Rick generated some unusual waves that made it necessary to keep the small boats of the local fishing fleet safe on shore. There are some pipe lines, waves battering the rock that a restaurant sits on and some brave soles attempting skim-boarding. The videos were taken about 10:00AM on 10/18/2009. Another event of the Mother Nature type: A magnitude 4.2 earthquake hit Melaque at 8:35 AM. The epicenter was in the center of the bay where I took the videos the same morning. There were two tremors, and our house shook, but no damage as far as I know.
