By definition, every wave that comes up on shore is considered a Tidal wave, as it in some way is either bringing in or taking out the Tide.
I think the word you are thinking of is a Tsunami. Like the one that killed 250,000 people in Indonesia a few years back when an earthquake went off in the Indian Ocean.
I do believe if a Tsunami happened in Galveston, a lot more people than just Crash would lose their vehicle due to the immediate flooding. (He could then claim insurance and get Tonka back again in its third reincarnation!)
On a side note...I do believe tonka went under the weather because of electrical problems? Fried his comp if I remember....And his transmission. No hydrolock though.

Tonka is on a Pavement (Concrete...hard stuff) Jetty. He's not sitting on sand in the actual surf. The picture everyone is complaining about is a wave that crashed just over the rocks of the Jetty. He wasnt in any danger of hydrolocking or getting stuck in the sand and buried or anything. People need to simmer

I didn't have to make up a reason, please read below.
I commented on your actions, which I have every right to do. If you want to say I'm a fool that is fine but I think armycop says it best in the following thread, which speaks for itself by the way. Especially the last page.

**Personal opinion and not representing JK-Forum in any way**
This thread is going to go nowhere but downhill. The problem most people are having is that you are putting your Jeep in deep water again after accepting handouts to rebuild your Jeep that YOU damaged. (YES, YOU DAMAGED IT, NOT AN "ACCIDENT") Even though some people are mislabeling it as a hydrolock, your Jeep suffered extreme water damage that disabled it and needed major repairs.
You didn't directly ask for handouts, but by posting about every single misfortune in your life, you did use your "situation" to elicit donations. For example, you posted about selling your DVD's for cash, losing your job, your wife losing her job, your shop being vandalized/robbed, etc.
Then a couple days after your Jeep is transported (using other peoples $$$) and fixed, (also using other people's $$$), you start a post about fitting larger tires on your Jeep. That was the FIRST slap in the face to all the people who "donated". Now you have been flaunting fishing pictures and driving your JK to the ocean, slapping more people in the face.
This isn't JK-Forum talking. This is a person saying what is on his mind to another person, just like MKJeep and others you don't agree with. The people on this forum have been very good to you and we should all be thankful that we have a free place to hang out and talk JK's.
