Snowboard dude,
I am not sure where you are on the East Coast or of what continent but most of the time that the $hit is hitting the fan most people are not concerned about video footage except perhaps a professional camera person.
This is not as good as video footage but if you look at the current chart for waves and wind on the North Atlantic you will notice a section over by Ireland that shows a wave height of '11' - which is in meters and is well over 33 feet in height.

Use your imagination.
