Surf's up! Pilings down!

For those lucky enough to live by the shore - how have you fared? The high surf has beaten the crap out of local piers and beaches and even swept some unlucky few out to sea. Most have been rescued, except for one 23 year old who is still missing.

Here's a tip from a bean who grew up by the breakwater: when the waves start to crash over wherever you're standing - move the hell away! Seriously, water is strong stuff. Try this test: get a firefighter to hose you down. Are you still standing? No? Right, the ocean is even stronger.
