Heroes...a real-life sequence; too close to the waves

A wave watcher at Morro Bay California ventures too close to the unpredictable waves.
I was taking photos of the storm waves hitting the rocks (from a distance) when an especially big wave hit.
Several people got wet, which is not unusual, and they appeared to be laughing it off.
One woman, however, was not laughing, and fortunately some people nearby noticed that she was not where she had been standing.
I thought I had been taking photos of people laughing about getting wet, but as you will see from the photos, that was not the case.
