waves aren t only powerful they re also pretty loud. they can go up to 100 decibels that s as noisy as a jackhammer at 10 meters away. the sound is generated when the waves break but despite the volume the sound of waves is generally perceived as relaxing. that. waves break on the shore it day and night and have been doing so for millions of years. nobody seems to mind the noise in fact most really enjoy the sound why is that. if anyone knows the answer then scientists at the frown hole for institute for building physics based in stuttgart germany. this is
the sun is up. we have a little bit afterof a drift in the winds. the waves aren t 10 13 16 feet high. the ocean current has been moving northward. that s when authorities on the coast of borneo told local fishermen, do what you can on your daily catch to look. they re also going to send teams here. this is not a pristine beach. this is not where we have sands. where in a distance you can see something drift an shoreon shore. this is heavy vegetation jungle like very marshy. with the runoff, anything that does get lodged into this could be covered with that mud and muck and the silt that comes off from the heavy rain. this is a tedious process. they do believe there are items that are most likely on that southern coast. when if comet comes to the winds, best news in days. the bright colors of yellow and orange are not to be seen. the last three days almost the entire java sea was covered with winds in excess of 25 to 35 miles per hour. that is not the case. doesn t mean they re not goi
at some of the latest video that comes in, as government officials, law enforcement agencies are on the ground trying to help out with the devastation. as we take a look at that and we keep our eye on hawaii as well, a new report out of san diego that the very first tsunami waves have hit u.s. shores in california. they really weren t very strong, thankfully. says they barely registered notice amid stormy weather that was already in effect down in southern california. no injuries or property damage reported as the tsunami waves hit u.s. shores off the coast of southern california. national weather service reporting that a tsunami was observed in santa monica with water surging 2.1 feet. that happened at 12:21 pacific time, local time in california, according to an official there. and a fire official in ventura, california said it a three foot surge caused a dock to become unmoored. and that a 15-foot boat was
let me tell you, long beach you are approaching your low tide time, as well. any time of receding you do see from the water is being exacerbated from being at low tide. back on the pictures of hawaii, you have been talking a lot and very well about the wave all of those waves, any wave you see at the beach enjoying your day, those are wind waves. those are stirred up by the wind. that is just running across the surface of ocean and that friction is causing those waves to happen. that is what you see every day. these tsunami wave, these are not the same as all. the water gets displaced at the bottom of the ocean so the entire column of water all the way up to surface moves across the ocean and does not cause a kind of wind wave where you see the whitecaps across the surface. its completely different thing. that is why you see this moving in like a river or as a tide.
authorities say it s really okay to get down. a big one will bounce around, too. it will reflect and you can get a wave bouncing off one coast and joining with one coming from another direction and make something particularly big. gregg: so as our meteorologist was pointing out, it could literally wrap around the island itself? yes, there is a horrific example in indonesia of an island that got wrapped around and the greatest damage was on the back side. gregg: explain the dynamics of that. i guess the waves parted from one side and the two sides of the wave curled around the island and met on the other side kind of like of two people going on around on each side and smacking into each other.
