Federal agents searched the Washington home of Ilhan Omar, a Democratic member of Congress from Minnesota.

The Justice Department said the search was carried out under a court-authorised warrant as part of an ongoing criminal investigation, but did not name Omar or explain the investigation.

Omar, who came to the United States from Somalia as a child, said the search was an attempt to target political opponents.

The wave was nearly three times as high as the surrounding waves, making it exceptionally large compared with nearby water, though not the tallest ever measured.

Rogue waves matter because they can threaten ships, offshore structures and, if close enough to shore, people on beaches.
