yes, of course. 260 nm south of Panama city is right smack dab centered in
the panhandle.

but wait a minute! I thought "close" only counted in horseshoes and H-bombs.

36.1 feet at 7:50PM, looks like wave height is peaking out at the
weather buoy(260 nm South of Panama City).

pardon me for not recalling **precisely** the minimum water depth to support
36
waves but I seem to recall it is about 150 feet.


Therefore, tsunamis are a figment of the imagination. The water is a couple of
inches deep at the edge of the beach. No waves should ever come ashore at all.

Dang, tell the Quicksilver people that Mavericks can never get 60' swells.
The reef is only 45' deep.

OK how about 64 miles.

This is 64 nm South of Dauphin Island, AL
Which is less than a 100 miles.

Well Jaxass, I see they are 36' at 200 miles from Panama City, FL. How far
off shore is the buoy? And you stated that there could not be 36' waves 200
miles or more from the panhandle.


That's true! I just printed the graph for that exact buoy.


JAX will never admit his ignorance although I just checked that buoy
and the wave height (3:50 pm CDT Sept 15) was 42 feet.

G Jax has never been to sea in any conditions above moderate, never
experienced hurricane conditiuons at sea, never seen seas heap up in shallow
water, etc.,etc ..... I wouldn't give his views too much credence.

At this point, once again, the Emperor has been shown not to have any clothing.

And it's not a pretty sight.

I don't have to, idiot...

First of all, I am clever enough to know that you probably mean, but
are too illiterate to spell, "non sequitur."

Second, your implication that "it does not follow" is simply
hilariously unsupported and demonstrably untrue. There is ample
scientific and lay information, proof, if you will, that waves in
excess of 36 feet hit the Gulf coast in 1969.

Why don't you look THAT up, dowf?

PS

I was in Mobile, AL a few days before Camille.... and one of the last
to view the beautiful seaside mansions and lighthouse The following
Friday I left Greensboro, NC for Washington, DC via airplane. I know
the carnage in the Gulf.... and I followed the effects of Camille
through NC, VA, and as far north as lower Maryland. I can speak from
personal experience.... you don't have a clue.... (or clew, as you,
the ignorant, spell (or is it spill)it.)
