say the face of it was only 35, 40. we measure from the back of the wave from meteorology because that indicates the force that is pushing along with that water. that's what creates surge. what do you see in these numbers? >> that wave was on the northern right side of the storm. if you took the storm and drew a pie across it, the wave height was up here. >> if it's coming this way, it's over here. >> right. so, this is the worst part of the storm. that quadrant, right front quadrant. to get off what we're talking about for a second off that wave, when that moves on shore, this will move on shore like that which means everything north of wherever the center of the storm strikes, all of that on the coast line, north and east, will get the worst part of this storm. so that's where that wave height, that 83-foot-high wave was. we're not going to see waves like that along the coast. but here's what that tells us. first of all, that wave is there because the storm was moving, it was trapped in winds pushing in the same direction. as that gets here, what we know now is there is a wall of water associated with this storm.
