The wider storm

Two separate storm systems-one near Japan and one near the Gulf of Alaska-produced 8 to 12-foot surf along many north-facing beaches of the Hawaiian Islands.On Oahu, a Marine's (military) body was never found after a four-day search at sea. He had been walking on a rocky ledge at the Mokulua islands (a mile offshore from Lanikai) when a wave knocked him into the ocean on 12 February.
