This would be at least as high as their sea wall. Eventually, the water does take that car, and it did flood that nuclear plant. I'm sure this is at least a mile in. On the coast, it would be much worse. A sea wall is about as useful as a paper fan in 105 degree heat.

Our sea wall for that nuclear plant that is literally on the ocean in CA is 30 feet.
