Saturday Swells

Click here to see video footage captured January 22, 2011 around 5pm on the southern end of Majuro Atoll at Amata Kabua International Airport. Swells rolling in from the northward facing lagoon shore come right through a barrier of coral boulders, ill-designed for high waves much less sea level rise. Further west along the airport, waves crashed into the boulders with much greater force, sending salt water into the air and further flooding the road way. Government clean up crews were seen soon after transferring topsoil to buttress the island.
