Ivan's waves estimated to have reached 90 feet

Everyday there is at least one article in one or both of Cayman's two national newspapers on the effects of Hurricane Ivan. I might be exageratting a tad, but Ivan is still omnipresent in Cayman. This item, reported in today's Compass, caught my eye. Excerpt:

Hurricane Ivan last year whipped up waves 90 feet high, which could snap a ship in two or dwarf a 10-floor building, scientists have revealed.

The ocean waves generated by Ivan, which left a trail of devastation through the Caribbean, are thought to be the tallest and most intense yet measured.
