It's clever how evolution finds new ways of working isn't it.
In the past a human might have been eliminated from the gene pool for not being a good hunter, so unable to feed, or perhaps because they were too slow at running, so eaten by some wild beast. Slowly improving the stock we've come from. Now that we have microwaves and hand tools, you're unlikely to be unable to feed yourself or be eaten by a predator, but nature still finds a way.
Namely, it fires up a few decent sized waves and stupid people are lured in to have a closer look, it then drops in two or three mega waves and tries to drown them. Nature in action, smarter than some people think.
