Some homeowners along the Delaware River in Salem County, New Jersey are busy repairing damage to their properties after a wake from a passing ship slammed ashore earlier this month.
According to Today's Sunbeam, the Liberian-registered ship Cap Irene sailed downriver on Saturday, October 1 around 1:30 in the afternoon, creating a large wake that hit the shore, damaging properties.
One homeowner told Today's Sunbeam it was like "a mini tsunami." Another homeowner said the wave ripped up deck boards and damaged siding on his house.
The U.S. Coast Guard and other agencies are investigating the incident.
