I am reminded of the giant wave scene in Prometheus
At 02:24 UTC today, this Newfoundland buoy reported a peak wave height of 30.7 m (100.7 feet) with a significant wave height of 12.5 m (41.0 feet). Tremendous waves if verified. That peak wave height would be equal to the peak wave from the 1991 Perfect Storm.https://twitter.com/LabradorIce/status/1170580770659950592 …

So what does that freak wave mean? A tsunami?

It's hurricane Dorian!

Seems like a peculiar location, with very steep slope of the seafloor. Looking at the timing, this very large Hmax value (as "real" as Hmax measurements get...), is possibly caused by the interaction of 2+ wave fronts, and not an "open ocean + deepwater" wave.pic.twitter.com/y0MqS6mKjH

See here, it is a if the wind accelerated near the coast of NF; at the time of the peak Hmax the mean wave dir (->to) changed by -100°, indicating that some waves also came from some E or NE wind direction. You'd need some pretty advanced couple atm+wave model to capture this
