This week meteorologists have been warning the Bay Area about so-called “sneaker waves” along the coast, which have been known to sweep people and their pets out to sea without warning. The waves are especially sneaky because they can often occur when the weather is perfectly nice. These sneakers are the remnants of Typhoon Wipha, which shredded its way along the coast of Japan last week, before heading toward the Aleutian Islands. (Craig Miller / KQED)
