Huge waves crash into US military base in Marshall Islands

Dramatic footage has captured huge waves crashing into a U.S. military building in the Marshall Islands on Saturday, Jan. 20.

ROI-NAMUR, Marshall Islands –Massive waves caused significant flooding at a remote U.S. Army base in the South Pacific, and the entire event was captured on video.

U.S. Army Garrison Kwajalein Atoll (USAG-KA) said a major flooding incident occurred Saturday night on Roi-Namur in the Marshall Islands. A series of strong waves hit the dining hall, knocking doors off their hinges, tossing furniture around, and causing several people to lose their balance and fall.

Video (above) shot by Erik Hanson shows the moment a huge wave breaks down a door, washing over people inside the building. He was enjoying a night at the Outrigger Bar & Grill when "rogue waves" crashed through the building.
