People getting smashed by huge waves

Cyclone Winston creates massive swell smashing Aussie families swimming in Kiama rock pool with large rogue waves, severe injuries were reported later that day!


Dozens of beaches were closed across eastern Australia as swells caused by Cyclone Winston lashed the coast. The Australian Bureau of Meteorology issued a severe thunderstorm warning, saying that they expected damaging winds and heavy hail and rain that may lead to flash flooding. This footage shows large waves hitting swimmers in a rock pool in New South Wales. A few minor injuries (cuts and scrapes on rocks, bad bruising) were observed on adults and children, caused by this set of waves and several others. More severe injuries were being reported in the same area later in the day.
