wayne, **IF** you knew even a tiny bit of what journalists are taught in
school, you would know 1st, this is a made up quote

"There were some
extremely large waves," he said. "There is some evidence that there
was one rogue wave, the largest ever seen in the Gulf of Mexico, some
90 feet high."


and 2nd, that "some" is a "weasel" word (that is the term used) when a
journalist wants material "with dramatic appeal" (i.e. made up) to sound
factual. notice the word "some" is used twice in the single sentence made up
quote.

nice try, though.
