sea fog

[heelmanwilm]

I’ve lived here 30 yrs and have only seen this phenomenon 3 times including today. It is absolutely bizarre and is the inspiration for the Stephen king movie. It happens when the air is unusually warm (83 today) and the water very cold. It’s not Your typical fog by far. It’s much denser. Visibility is about 6 feet. From a distance it looks like a blanket laying on the ocean. And as you approach it it looks like a wall. It also drenches you as the moisture content is so high. Incredible sight. It’s like a sci fi movie.

that movie scared the shit out of me in the early 80’s…the remake was awful.

@heelmanwilm are there pictures of this on the internets?

I've never heard of sea fog... I lived at the coast for 8 years. Sonofabitch! I never heard of the movie, either.

yes.

The original was really good. My kind of movie. I agree about the second one. I don't understand what compels moviemakers to try to match or outdo better flicks.

yeah but they usually fail miserably at that when picking on a good movie. They should remake stinkers only.

I mean, if I could make millions of dollars while failing miserably I would be ok with that.

if you made millions of dollars, how would that be failing miserably?
