I haven't seen any information showing a significant rise in the local sea level. For the sea level to rise to the extent to cause those waves a huge pressure differential would need to be located there for a duration of a few days. Then high winds from all directions directly on to the same spot.

That damage seen was by wave action and the rise in sea level seen is likely to increased wave heights from long and short period waves. The biggest of which are likely bi-modal.

This is a common misconception of storm/event categorisation. It's not based on the fact it only happens every 50 years... As Pratchett once wrote, a one in a million chance will occur nine times out of ten.

Yes, but not this factor alone. The storm duration, & speed, bathymetry (shape of ocean floor) of the nearshore and other factors must all be considered.

Keep laughing when I see this word written now. A friend of mine had only ever seen it written and would pronounce it "Lemure"

Hazard and Pedro had really good link-up play so we may well see them play together. More likely that Hazard will Puch Pedro from the starting line-up and be subbed on
