Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.
What the National Weather Service wrote
High surf and potentially a rouge wave occurred in Bodega Bay, capsizing a 32 foot long vessel after an early morning crabbing trip on the opening day of recreational crab season. Five people on the boat were thrown into the water, none of them were wearing life jackets. Four of the people died in the water and one was able to swim to shore and was rescued later by a helicopter crew. The incident was not directly caused by local wind conditions, but distant wind in a strong Pacific Storm created the swell conditions that caused this incident.
The wider storm
