The swells are significant. A reality check is to compare the size of the swells in relation to the trees. Substantial and unsafe, including the rip tide that accompanied those waves. Little known fact about fishing before a severe storm, it is easier and a bit unfair. Fish are just as frightened of these storms as humans and 'school' in larger numbers. There should be a law, especially considering the 'overfishing' when there are no storms. Besides, the 'danger element' to humans, property and potential loss of livelihood is playing with odds that don't favor a good outcome.

Just as humans move and congregate to get ready for any sort of tropical storm, so do fish.
Fish, though, have it easy. No boarding up the windows. No gut-throbbing over spaghetti plot paths....
There were a few tornadoes as well.
