That must have been a large wave to sweep someone in while they were walking along the shore in RI. It's a shame all those people had to die, and to think that alot of them could have been prevented.

The 67 year old man was walking on a rocky ledge when the surf came over the rock and he fell in. This has happened several times in that area, the seas were about ten feet at the time from swells generated by Isabel.
