Wave that struck New Jersey's Barnegat Inlet may have been tsunami
MOUNT HOLLY, N.J., June 26 () -- A freak wave in Barnegat Inlet on the New Jersey Shore may have been caused by a tsunami, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration says. The 6-foot wave June 13 knocked three people from a jetty, injuring two of them severely enough to be hospitalized, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Tuesday. NOAA's Tsunami Warning Center said 30 gauges recorded information suggesting a tsunami, a widespread wave usually associated with earthquakes. In most areas, the tsunami -- assuming that is what it was -- would have been barely noticed. In Barnegat Inlet, it was pulled into the narrow entrance to Barnegat Bay. In this case, the tsunami may have had its origins in a derecho in New Jersey, a narrow storm with straight-line winds.The Jersey Shore has had earlier experience with tsunamis. A report by a retired National Weather Service staffer,[url=http://www.arch-eyes.com/]Christian Louboutin Discount[/url], Harry Woodworth, said a 1938 hurricane that devastated New England did considerable damage in New Jersey even though the eye of the storm was far out to sea, possibly because of a hurricane-generated tsunami.
