 On September 20 , Hurricane Gert was attributed to generating a rogue wave that swept two people out to sea at Acadia National Park along the coast of Maine . The crew of a lobster boat later found their bodies . Although the storm never approached the United States , seas in the area generally ran 3 to 5 ft ( 0 @.@ 91 to 1 @.@ 52 m ) above normal .
