Stockton Beach has been battered by a massive tide that sent waves crashing over the Mitchell Street rock wall, and sand dunes near Corroba Oval, inundating Meredith Street with water and debris, reaching as far as Fullerton Street - the only access road into the peninsula suburb.
Meredith Street resident Tami Bruce was walking her dogs around 8.30am when she was hit by a freak wave that pulled her under the water and pushed her back around 15 metres and through a fence, leaving her battered and bruised.
