I was 13, surfing in Hawaii with some of my friends at Waimea Bay. It was a normal day with rideable waves about 3 feet tall. The sun was setting and all the lifeguards and beachgoers had left, my friends had it to ourselves and were catching waves at the lineup about 25 feet from shore. Then out of nowhere, all the way out on the horizon, we saw these huge lines slowly coming towards us. It was eerie and the mood became serious. We had never seen waves coming from so far out before and weren't sure what to do, we decided to swim towards them to attempt going under/over them before they broke. We swam as hard as we could towards the waves, but we were too slow. The wave, which now towered at around 15 feet, crashed right in front of us. I dove underwater to escape the blast and the rag-dolling lasted for a long, exhausting time before I resurfaced, only to see the next wave of equal height about to crash down on top of me. Same thing when I came up again, but on the third wave I was kept underwater for so long that I began to say my goodbyes to my family and god in my head. I had no energy, no breath, and I knew what awaited me if I was to make it to the surface again. I thought this is the place to let go. But, after a few seconds, I decided to make one last hail mary attempt to get to the surface. I made it, and that third wave was the last one in the set. My friends and I were amazed we all survived and slowly swam back to shore, with no words being said there or on the bus ride back home. We were all in shock. That "rogue" set of waves almost drowned all of us and I feel extremely lucky to have not been killed. Rogue waves do not only happen in deep sea- always be careful. Aloha.

Waves at night are some of the scariest things. I helmed a USS Destroyer, the Fitzgerald, out in Japan one evening, and we were launched trying to out run a typhoon that was inbound. As night set, you couldn't tell the waves from the storm above until the water crashed over the bow, or lightning flashed and gave you a glimpse of the watery hell. Cresting some of those made you felt like the ship was aiming down like a dagger into the ocean, and watching the whole front disappear under the water and that water then overtaking the bridge windows made me wonder if we would come back up after a few of those. Still, one hell of experience that'll I'll never forget!

8:30-something like this happened to me once. I was on a cruise ship in the Caribbean, and we were supposed to go to five different islands. Unfortunately, there was a big storm heading our way, and so we had to quickly sail up the northeastern coast. This meant one stop was cancelled. But anyways, we went right into the storm. People were sick left and right. I remember someone vomited in the hallway. It was bad. The ship would go up, and then slam back down. The entire ship would violently shake. It was pretty alarming. Drawers would open and close without being prompted. Glasses in the bars would shake and hit each other. You weren’t really supposed to go out on the deck, because it was pretty dangerous. Luckily, I didn’t get seasick. It was actually kind of cool because if you jumped at the perfect moment while the ship was falling, you would be weightless for a split second. Still a bit scary.

Suddenly a monster wave hit and I swear to God I fell a complete free fall down an entire corridor, lamp in hand, and smashed my head and torso against the opposite wall on impact. I was fairly new still so the adrenaline was awesome haha i couldn't stop smiling after that. Managed to sort of wrap my upper body around the fluorescent lamp before impact to not have it burst and give out no-no gasses and glass shards everywhere.

WHAT a lot of people do not know is that if it is say 20' waves means that at sea level it rises 20 ft and drops down 20 ft below sea level, that means actually a ship travels 40 ft up and down. These types of waves are from storms and wind, they are different than the waves a surfer uses, I was a commercial fisherman and have experienced some terrible and dangerous seas.

Unless you’ve ever been pushed underwater by a wave you’ll never truly completely understand just how scary the waves are and how that’s just a small bit of the oceans power

I was in heavy seas off the Aleutian Islands in 1994 aboard a flat-bottomed amphibious ship while I was in the Navy. We were seeing 30-40 foot swells. I mostly just kept below decks but after a few days of this it's just exhausting, and it takes a while to get used to walking on dry land again. But the ship I was on was huge. I figured if smaller Navy vessels had been through this we could do it too.

Technically tsunamis are so powerful because of the wave length. A Nazaré wave may have a length of 2-300 feet or so, whereas a tsunami can have a wave length of tens or hundreds of kilometres. That means way more water that doesn’t stop coming, flooding inland.

Proud of you for hanging in there and getting your education. There have been countless youth spanning generations of families that haven't pursued their own educations as well so to hear anyone is actually interested in having an educated future makes my heart smile. Congratulations to you for the day you graduate.

I've been on 6 cruises and granted these ships are huge, but back in 1987, we went on a 1 day cruise gambling ship. It was about the size of a Love Boat type of ship, much smaller than modern day cruise ships, and we were caught in very high seas in the Gulf of Mexico. I wanna say the waves were around 30-40ft, and maybe even larger. Ship tossed and turned violently, and most everyone on board got sick. But I've never seen waves anything near that big since I've cruised on modern ships. I wonder if the technology just wasn't as good back then, cause I can't believe they would have left port knowing the seas were that violent. We sailed out of Corpus Christi that day.

I have never even come close to riding the waves that you revealed today, frightening mostly because the sea is an unforgiving and deadly place. Even the very best and most experienced captains have been lost at sea, to see the aircraft carrier having waves break upon the deck is incredible. Can you imagine being a pilot having to land on an aircraft carrier, of course not in such heavy seas but they do practice landing in some pretty rough weather

I Seek refuge with The God from expelled devil Chapter 31 - Luqman 28. Your creation and your resurrection are only as a single soul. The God is Hearing and Seeing. 29. Have you not seen how Th God merges the night into the day, and merges the day into the night? That He subjected the sun and the moon, each running for a stated term? And that Allah is Cognizant of everything you do? 30. That is because The God is the Reality, and what they worship besides Him is falsehood, and because The God is the Exalted, the Supreme. 31. Have you not seen how the ships sail through the sea, by the grace of The God, to show you of His wonders? In that are signs for every persevering, thankful person. 32.And as soon as they are overwhelmed by waves like mountains, they cry out to The God ˹alone˺ in sincere devotion. But when He delivers them ˹safely˺ to shore, only some become relatively grateful. And none rejects Our signs except whoever is deceitful, ungrateful. 33. O people! Be conscious of your Lord, and dread a Day when no parent can avail his child, nor can a child avail his parent, in anything. The promise of The God is true. Therefore, do not let this (temporary) life deceive you, nor let illusions deceive you regarding The God. 34. With The God rests the knowledge of the Last Hour (The Dooms Day). He sends down the rain, and He knows what the wombs contain. No soul knows what it will reap tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it will die. The God is All-Knowing, Well-Informed.

My dad's fav story to tell of his time in the navy, was being on the bridge during some really big weather and seeing green water go over them. He was on board a destroyer tender at the time, so it was pretty intense. He always wished he had had his camera on him at the time.

@randledewees4405

Darth. I'm interested in your dad's experience - do you know the ship? Water over the bridge, burrr! In 1978 I was a crew member on the destroyer tender USS Prairie AD15. We deployed on westpac into the teeth of a north pacific storm - we were late coming out of dry dock and had to sail as soon a possible to relieve the tender filling in for us. On the passage to Pearl Harbor we had 3 days of hurricane force winds and waves that swept the main deck 40 feet off the water line. We could not go out on deck, most of the sailors were sick and vomiting. The mess hall was in the forward part of the ship and it was a constant violent up and down world dropping out from under you - it stank of vomit - I'm nearly impervious to motion but I could only stay there for a few minutes before getting queasy. The command would let us experience the outside - we could go out on to the flying bridge for a few minutes. The chest high coaming kept you from being blown off you feet. I could take a minute or so but it was very difficult to breathe. But the waves! Seemed a mile apart stacked forever. The ship didn't missed a beat (luckily it turned out) but it was an intense and very tiring 3 days. Our passage took 7 days. After a few days of R&R we started our passage to Subic Bay. The ship, fresh out of dry dock, decided it needed more work and we spent many days dead in the water with main shaft problems. Dead in the calm, burning hot, glass smooth, electric blue tropical water. When we were moving it was 3 to 5 knots. 28 days and it seemed forever. But I'm glad to have experienced it - night's so black you couldn't tell if your eyes were open. Stars thick right to the horizon. We got to swim off the fantail in crystalline 3D fantasy water - gunners mates with M14's on shark watch. Somewhere near Guam we started moving at a consistent 10 knots and made our way on to a normal westpac (extended a month to 7 months!).

I was on 2 destroyer escorts homeported in Japan. Several times we had to transit the Sea of Japan in Dec. - Jan, To say it gets a little rough is a massive understatement. Footprints on the bulkhead weren't uncommon. If you timed it just right you could jump just as the ship crested a wave and kinda float there for two or three seconds. One trip we got caught in a storm, doing 35 - 45 degree rolls, when she rolled to starboard to 52 degrees according to the engine room inclinometer. The thing that scared me was when she just hung there for a few moments longer then she should have, like she was debating whether or not to come back or just continue the rest of the way. If we took on oil while underway (UNREP) when it was rough you could watch the oiler's screws come out of the water as she went over the waves. If it got too bad you couldn't go outside and sometimes they would even pull the aft lookout rather then lose him to the waves. Good times!! 😁👍

I was on the bridge with the Captain. We were really rocking and rolling so he faced the ship directly into the waves and dropped both anchors. These waves were monsters. On the Bridge looking as high as I could see was the top of the wave. The entire ship up to the bridge went under water then like a submarine the bow flew into the air. Those anchors held but to be honest I thought those waves were over 200 feet.

The Tohoku one is different because it's not just a wave, it's a gigantic wall of ocean water created in the aftermath of an earthquake, which caused the ocean plates to slide one under the other and that's what caused that tsunami. Also, I believe the sea walls were about 30 feet tall, those walls have been built over again and are well over 45 feet tall now. Japanese government is looking into funding for building the walls up to 200 feet tall. So that if a tsunami ever hit that region again, the wave wouldn't be able to go straight over which did that time because it was easily over 100 feet high for it go well over the wall and pretty much destroy.

4:18 Literally the scene from interstellar. Not nearly as tall, but twice as scary cause its real.

On my first-ever cruise in 2008, we were sailing in the Bay of Biscay and were hit by the tail end of a hurricane. It was horrendous, I actually thought we were going to die (I was 11). Sunbeds were flying off the ship, we were made to wear life jackets, you weren't allowed to go on the top decks or the lowest decks, no lifts allowed etc. It was so scary and when the lights went off, it made it even worse. Everyone was told to stay in their rooms until the storm had cleared or until we found a port to dock in.

7:10 I seek refuge with The God from expelled satan Chapter 10 - Jonah (Prophet) 22. It is He who transports you across land and sea. Until, when you are on ships, sailing in a favorable wind, and rejoicing in it, a raging wind arrives. The waves surge over them from every side, and they realize that they are besieged. Thereupon they pray to The God, professing sincere devotion to Him: “If You save us from this, we will be among the appreciative.” 23. But then, when He has saved them, they commit violations on earth, and oppose justice. O people! Your violations are against your own souls. It is the enjoyment of the present life. Then to Us is your return, and We will inform you of what you used to do. 24. The likeness of the present life is this: water that We send down from the sky is absorbed by the plants of the earth, from which the people and the animals eat. Until, when the earth puts on its fine appearance, and is beautified, and its inhabitants think that they have mastered it, Our command descends upon it by night or by day, and We turn it into stubble, as if it had not flourished the day before. We thus clarify the revelations for people who reflect. 25. The God invites to the Home of Peace, and guides whomever He wills to a straight path. 26. For those who have done good is goodness, and more. Neither gloom nor shame will come over their faces. These are the inhabitants of Paradise, abiding therein forever. 27. As for those who have earned evil deeds: a reward of similar evil, and shame will cover them. They will have no defense against The God-as if their faces are covered with dark patches of night. These are the inmates of the Fire, abiding therein forever. 28. On the Day when We will gather them altogether, then say to those who ascribed partners, “To your place, you and your partners.” Then We will separate between them, and their partners will say, “It was not us you were worshiping.” 29. “The God is sufficient witness between us and you. We were unaware of your worshiping us.” 30. There, every soul will experience what it had done previously; and they will be returned to The God, their True Master; and what they used to invent will fail them. 31. Say, “Who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? And who controls the hearing and the sight? And who produces the living from the dead, and produces the dead from the living? And who governs the Order?” They will say, “The God.” Say, “Will you not be careful?” 32. Such is The God, your Lord-the True. What is there, beyond the truth, except falsehood? How are you turned away? 33. Thus your Lord’s Word proved true against those who disobeyed, for they do not believe. 34. Say, “Can any of your partners initiate creation, and then repeat it?” Say, “The God initiates creation, and then repeats it. How are you so deluded?” 35. Say, “Can any of your partners guide to the truth?” Say, “The God guides to the truth. Is He who guides to the truth more worthy of being followed, or he who does not guide, unless he himself is guided? What is the matter with you? How do you judge?” 36. Most of them follow nothing but assumptions; and assumptions avail nothing against the truth. The God is fully aware of what they do. 37. This Quran could not have been produced by anyone other than The God. In fact, it is a confirmation of what preceded it (Bible, Psalms and Torah), and an elaboration of the Book. There is no doubt about it-it is from the Lord of the Universe. 38. Or do they say, “He has forged it”? Say, “Then produce a single chapter like it, and call upon whomever you can, apart from The God, if you are truthful.” 39. In fact, they deny what is beyond the limits of their knowledge, and whose explanation has not yet reached them. Thus those before them refused to believe. So note the consequences for the wrongdoers. 40. Among them are those who believe in it, and among them are those who do not believe in it. Your Lord is fully aware of the mischief-makers. 41. If they accuse you of lying, say, “I have my deeds, and you have your deeds. You are quit of what I do, and I am quit of what you do.”

The one rocking side to side, was totally because it lost power. This is due to this ship having a sophisticated ballast system that pumps ballast into tanks to counter the action of the waves. Without power the pumps couldn’t shift the ballast, so not really due to it ‘only’ being 100ft wide. If the pumps had been working the ship would have been very near completely stable.

Powerful! It is scary looking, but I could watch those waves over and over!

So I live on the east coast of central Florida. Back in early September 2004 I was 12 years old and hurricane was to hit our area. The cruise industry thought it would be a great idea to offer a “cruise to no where” to locals needing to evacuate. Basically we got on a cruise ship out of port canaveral and the goal was to go around the hurricane and come back Into port once the storm passed. The waves at sea were insane. We would walk the halls in a zig zag pattern. Everyone was sea sick. 20-30 foot waves for 3 straight days. Then the port was to damaged to return. We got stuck at sea for over a week. Eventually they ported in Miami and bussed us back up to cape canaveral. Not before riots broke out on the ship. People were hysterical trapped on that boat for 10 days. It’s an experience I’ll never forget

In the early spring and late winter of 1966, Fresh out of SIU Seamans school was on my first trip on a merchant ship, the SS Sapphire Gladys. We were carrying military PX and personal belongings of army personnel and their family, including cars. Our destination was Bremerhaven Germany and Antwerp Belgium. We encountered high seas 2 days out of New York. they got more powerful a week later as we entered the North Sea. The ship was a C2 launched in 1943, she was originally named the Celestial., about 460 ft long and 60 ft wide. When we were in the North Sea the crests towered over the ship when we were in a trough, You couldn't see anything except water higher than you. I was only 20 at the time, and I felt no fear, in fact, it gave me an adrenaline rush. The officers were praising the electrician for climbing the mast to change some running lights in those high seas. the next day I climbed to the top of the mast in those same high seas. I was called down by the chief mate, and written up and punished by 1/2 days pay lost. The second trip in late April while returning to New York, we were north of the Shetland Islands in extremely high seas, when a crack opened up on the 5th cargo hold, I was a wiper in the engine room. I had to bring tools and equipment to the engineers. The first took a liking to me and had me do many of the jobs with him and had me go into the double bottoms with him to examine their condition. There are so many stories that happened back then on that ship that would take up several chapters in a book, High seas and a sound ship are like a cradle to me they rocks me to sleep. Nothing wakes me faster than a sudden stopping of the ship's rolling and pitching motion or the sound of the engines stopping.

I once went on a cruise ship because it was discounted for the season. Apparently it was storm season. We were in Cozumel at one of our tourist stops, Suddenly the sun went away and the wind started to blow. It got cold quickly, and all of the people in their swimsuits were waiting for the small boat to take us back to our big ship. People frantically jumped onto the boat that was bobbing up and down with the bobbing becoming higher and higher, the boat failing to connect straight with the dock. Through the wild rough waves we finally made it back onto the big ship. Once aboard we all collected ourselves, I remember being in the shower and getting swayed back-and-forth into the walls. It was kind of fun at this point, I don’t typically get seasick too easily so I wasn’t even thinking about that. Eventually I made it out of the room and decided to embark on a little adventure around the ship. Right As I was passing the casino, Lost in utter amazement at how fun it was that people were swaying back-and-forth, suddenly my eyes were met with something disturbing : a mom and little girl were running in my general direction, I’m guessing to their room. The mom was hunched over holding a bag in front of the little girls face as they moved quickly. Suddenly the mother moved the bag from her daughters face to her own to yak in it herself… I no longer was smiling enjoying the swaying of the ship… I was disturbed and in shock 😳 anddd decided to go back to the room for a while 😄

I Seek refuge with The God from expelled devil Chapter 31 - Luqman 28. Your creation and your resurrection are only as a single soul. The God is Hearing and Seeing. 29. Have you not seen how Th God merges the night into the day, and merges the day into the night? That He subjected the sun and the moon, each running for a stated term? And that Allah is Cognizant of everything you do? 30. That is because The God is the Reality, and what they worship besides Him is falsehood, and because The God is the Exalted, the Supreme. 31. Have you not seen how the ships sail through the sea, by the grace of The God, to show you of His wonders? In that are signs for every persevering, thankful person. 32.And as soon as they are overwhelmed by waves like mountains, they cry out to The God ˹alone˺ in sincere devotion. But when He delivers them ˹safely˺ to shore, only some become relatively grateful. And none rejects Our signs except whoever is deceitful, ungrateful. 33. O people! Be conscious of your Lord, and dread a Day when no parent can avail his child, nor can a child avail his parent, in anything. The promise of The God is true. Therefore, do not let this (temporary) life deceive you, nor let illusions deceive you regarding The God. 34. With The God rests the knowledge of the Last Hour (The Dooms Day). He sends down the rain, and He knows what the wombs contain. No soul knows what it will reap tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it will die. The God is All-Knowing, Well-Informed. Have a good night ..

Chapter 10 - Jonah (Prophet) I seek refuge with The God from expelled devil 22. It is He who transports you across land and sea. Until, when you are on ships, sailing in a favorable wind, and rejoicing in it, a raging wind arrives. The waves surge over them from every side, and they realize that they are besieged. Thereupon they pray to The God, professing sincere devotion to Him: “If You save us from this, we will be among the appreciative.” 23. But then, when He has saved them, they commit violations on earth, and oppose justice. O people! Your violations are against your own souls. It is the enjoyment of the present life. Then to Us is your return, and We will inform you of what you used to do. 24. The likeness of the present life is this: water that We send down from the sky is absorbed by the plants of the earth, from which the people and the animals eat. Until, when the earth puts on its fine appearance, and is beautified, and its inhabitants think that they have mastered it, Our command descends upon it by night or by day, and We turn it into stubble, as if it had not flourished the day before. We thus clarify the revelations for people who reflect. 25. The God invites to the Home of Peace, and guides whomever He wills to a straight path. 26. For those who have done good is goodness, and more. Neither gloom nor shame will come over their faces. These are the inhabitants of Paradise, abiding therein forever. 27. As for those who have earned evil deeds: a reward of similar evil, and shame will cover them. They will have no defense against The God-as if their faces are covered with dark patches of night. These are the inmates of the Fire, abiding therein forever.

I am retired U.S.Navy 1964-1995. Six ships and twice around the Earth years apart, and I loved every minute being a Non-seasick loving the sea kind of Idiot (as you called us). My smallest ship was almost 300 feet long, and we hit a storm in the Med. in the mid-80's that lasted 3 full days. Crackers, and Bug Juice(homemade Kool-aid) was all the cooks could handle all that time. Best sleep I ever got when not on watch (alone) while others were GREEN all the time with their plastic bags. I still miss it.

i was a sailor for 2 years and only one time in my life I saw a monster wave, it was so big that I woke up on the freaking wall instead of my bed, my computer wicht where on the table slammed into my head waking me up, every single trasbin was tipped over, chairs was flipped 180 degrees, everything from the fridges to the rescue boat was destroyed

Travelled on an Irish sea ferry every weekend for 10 years been out in storm 12+, they run a lot of ballast, waves higher than the ship, you just sleep through it.

14:36 I live in Newfoundland and I went to the ocean a couple of days ago. I came so close that at one point the wave hit me. I ended up with just wet shoes and pants. the thing is I couldn't stop laughing. I was laughing when the wave hit and after that I couldn't stop laughing for 10 minutes straight. I guess, it depends on how do you take things or how crazy you are😂

I used to work offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and can remember riding a workboat between rigs and being at the bottom of a wave and seeing nothing but a wall of water all around. Waves that were 25-30' tall were not uncommon.

Did he survived ?

I remember steering a Guided Missile Destroyer through a hurricane in 1996 while in the Navy. Wasn't even directly in our path. We caught part of it trying to go around it. We were hitting 42+ ft swells. A DDG is a rather small ship. Nothing like a Carrier or Merchant ship, but not as small as a Coastguard cutter either. Coming down off the waves you could hear and feel the steel twisting and moaning just before the water engulfed the bow of the ship. At times I thought we might capsize. Usually bad weather and monstrous waves is still good sleeping conditions down below in berthing. We're so used to it. But this was beyond that. I believe a rack came unwelded from the bulkhead. It was violent and unnerving. The palms of my hands were sweating profusely and it was all I could do to hold on to the helm steering wheel and not be thrown across the bridge. That memory is seared in my mind.

At 9:20 just loving the group at the back of the video just sitting down and having a chat while there is chaos all around them lol

A friend of mine works on a similar rescue ship (UK). And he told me that when such waves are coming, the people on the deck bet between every wave if it's going to roll them or not. He won ~300 pounds when everyone else bet that a wave (according to him around 90Feet) got them from roughly 1 o clock direction.

During my time as a fisherman we was caught in a force 12 hurricane off the Norway coast.That was quite scary.

@manifestgtr, You're clearly a youngster, what are you Gen Z? We can spot you kids a mile away. You're so disrespectful because you lack extensive life experience outside of your computer. This man is obviously from different country and maybe they use different numbers to describe hurricane force? Or maybe it's a maritime designation? Did the possibility cross your mind? Don't assume you know what you don't know. From Aristotle, wisdom is to admit that you know nothing. I suggest you study his writings.

14:00 fun fact those ships are built to go around big storms to search if any1 is in trouble in the middle of dangerous sea

Amazing footage you captured. THANK YOU

Back during my first deployment we had to take a hsv to somewhere for training and ended up in the middle of a hurricane. From what I remember the waves were huge like higher than the deck of the ship and had everyone scared. The hsv was rocking so much that it looked like we were going down, face to face with gigantic waves rocking forward and backwards. Had to get shots to stop the sea sickness. I don't know how big the waves were but I just knew I was about to be at the bottom of the ocean.

I have an unreasonable fear of waves, I don't know why.

Probably because adults say constantly if you go into the ocean you’ll get swept away, if you are a good swimmer however and are strong you could swim your way back if stuck in the current. Don’t worry onlookers would call people to save you even if you couldn’t get free from the current!

I was onboard the Norwegian Dawn in 2005 when we sailed through a storm and we were hit by a 70’ wave at one point. The ship took damage and people were hurt. It was a nightmare and pandemonium.

In the late sixties my father’s ship The Noongah, an iron ore carrier, encountered 30+ feet waves. Rumoured to have been overloaded, he was one of 13 men who lost their lives. Never underestimate the power of these waves.

That's why they call it "nervous laughter".

Is it just me or is it when a tanker smashes through waves is oddly satisfying.

The general consensus is that your boat length from bow to stern has to be longer than the waves height to be able to ride over the top of it. I recommend the book 'The perfect storm' to anyone who is interested in wave dynamics and maritime history. It's heart-breaking and riveting.

Back in 2006 i was about 8 years old and my parents will still together. My Dad saved up to take us to his home state in Oaxaca, and we went to Acapulco Mexico and huatulco. We went on a cool little cruise and it took us out to privately owned beaches around the area. Later in the evening on the return to one of the resorts some seaweed got caught in our propellers and the waves where really picking up as it got darker. The titanic theme song came on and i lost it i started crying and i really thought we were goin down yo even my mom was getting worried and the DJ was keeping his cool about halfway down his bottle of 1800. This being the ride of his life, meanwhile everyone on boards struggling to fit on the inside and my dad was just holding onto me and my little brother telling us to try and enjoy it. Some crazy dude ended up tieing a rope to his waist and dove off the jetski to cut the seaweed with his machete. I remember taking a picture on the ledge of the boat. The top deck was a good 20-30 feet up in the air. Those waves were spilling over the stern at times. Ill say tho for whoevers reading, another thrill of mine. I was Departing from Denver international enroute to Wichita KS, and this wild pilot and flight control crew decides to let us through this lightning storm cause we were in a small ass bombardier jet. Its only an hour flight. And if we didnt take of then, we'd be delayed a whole more 6 hours or more due to weather. So we take off and ascend for a good 2 minutes and bam that sucker started jolting like nothing ive ever felt before and the pilotwas telling us to remain calm as all the lights inside the cabin turned off. I think he ended up turning thr whole plane off and on. Ive been on a good 16different flights in my life. Ive never flown in a plane that quiet before. All you could hear was whisps of air and ppl breathing
