Woman On Beach Comes Within An Inch Of Death As A Massive Wave Nearly Became Her Final Destination

Posted • November 22, 2024: Woman Walking On The Beach Comes Within An Inch Of Death As A Massive Wave Nearly Became Her Final Destination Moment — King tides, the highest predicted tides of the year, are a captivating natural event that occurs along coastlines worldwide, including East Coast cities like Miami and Miami Beach, as well as along the West Coast. King tides - a non-scientific term used to describe exceptionally high tides - can be up to 1-2 feet higher than average tides. They are driven by the gravitational forces of the sun and moon and occur when the moon, Earth and sun align and the moon is closest to Earth in its orbit. Mike Ball, a visitor from Kansas, captured a moment on video where a woman was swept up by a powerful wave. "The water started coming up towards her. She noticed it, she turned around and just as she was trying to get away, those waves grabbed her," Ball, an older adult, recounted. "It was very disturbing, because I felt so… helpless. I couldn't do anything for her." Fortunately, the woman managed to escape unharmed.
