Typhoon

Well, more of a tropical storm by the time it got to us, thankfully. But it still created some impressive waves.

Check out the size of the people with the umbrellas at the corners of the photo for size approximation.

These pictures were taken from my friend's apartment, one building closer to the ocean than us. We live three buildings and a grassy area away from the ocean.

Check out the size of the swells.

And the giant crashes.

You can't see it, but about thirty feet out from that wall where the people are standing is a sea break. This made the waves break far enough out that you might be able to feel the spray but were in no danger of really being hit. It made for a great show.

This morning the waves are much smaller, but the ground is torn up. Must have been some powerful winds to tear granite tiles up from the ground. Not even sure how that works. Lizbeth and I were out there earlier, but I forgot my camera so no pictures :-(

Thank Him for wearing down the intensity of the storm and keeping us safe so all we had was a wonderful display of His power.
