This might sound stupid but that water was from the earthquake that occurred in JAPAN recently. The tsunami waves were so strong that it traveled throughout the pacific ocean and actually hit some parts of the west coast of canada as well an washington and down into cali.

Did you intend that to be a question or a statement?
