severe weather alert & "this is what happens when the post's title is very long"

Yahoo! weather had this to say about the Santa Monica forecast: "...high surf advisory remains in effect until 11 PM PDT saturday...", "coastal flood advisory remains in effect..." and "waves of 5 to 8, with occasional sets of 9 to 12 feet are expected on exposed south facing beaches...".

So, of course, I had to see this for myself, I drove out to "the rocks" near the naval base north of Malibu... unfortunately, due to heavy 101 traffic, I arrived just as the sun had set behind the horizon, which gave me only 15 more minutes of dim daylight left. But I grabbed my camera on the way and taped what I could, the waves were massive, here's what I could get before the sky went pitch black:

Note: notice at the end of the first clip - around the 15 second mark - the height of the cliff compared to the ocean, as judged from the size of the old couple on the left of the screen, and keep this in mind when the wave at the end of the second clip throws water all the way up onto the other couple sitting at the edge of the rocks...

As vibrant as this sky looks... the photo still falls very, very short of the real thing. Wish you could have been there.

stop me if you've heard this one before...

I was delayed, I was way-laid
An emergency stop
I smelt the last ten seconds of life
I crashed down on the crossbar
And the pain was enough to make
A shy, bald, buddhist reflect
And plan a mass murder
Who said lied I’d to her ?
