The station sits 64NM south of Dauphin....it'll be neat to see if the eye passes over this buoy...

As far as I know, that is a RECORD! Someone(Houstonia) said yesterday that "40 feet at 42041 off the la coast" was the record...I'm trying to confirm...

42 foot waves is beyond my comprehension (even after watching The Perfect Storm the other night).
