Did anyone on the pier or beach note a substantially sharp rise in the water level (or waves) around noon on Friday?
Apparently there was some sort of water level 'spike' at about that time which I have been able to identify from video taken in Panama City Beach which can be verified from water level observations from the Panama City Beach Pier

along with an almost simultaneous surge at Dauphin Island.
