The researchers, who presented their paper, "Storm Surge of Supertyphoon Haiyan (7–9 Nov 2013) on Samar (Philippines) Moved the Largest Boulder Ever Documented for a Recent Storm," Tuesday at the American Geophysical Union's fall meeting in San Francisco, said the boulder is the largest on record to be shifted by a storm.
Engel and his colleagues said their findings suggest other boulder movements associated with tsunamis may have been caused by superstorms.
