The Tidal Bore turned into choreographed show!

The image posted doesn't show what happened that night , but what didn't happen- the tidal bore floodlights recently installed weren't coming on and I was emailing an individual at public works about the situation, which was....the lights weren't coming on 15 minutes before the Bore.

So the following text is a copy paste of my message to that individual at Public Works about the coincidence that turned the Bore into a real performance!

"I would like to tell you what happened friday night....

I was watching the bore arrival time and since you mentioned they are set to come on maybe 15 minutes ahead, I was watching and waiting,the crowd was big since there was lots of activity around and the bore was very large/full moon. What happened I realize now was just a fluke, but the lights weren't coming on and I knew the bore would pass very soon. Well, it was just like a performance. Maybe ten seconds before the bore hit, the lights came on, the people jumped a bit and I would have to say, it was the perfect way to display the energy of the attraction. It was really something, especially in the dark and I think those people were very impressed with what they saw. My opinion, this is the way it should happen.

So, I think this could be resolved with technology, with the new learning cameras now available, teaching a camera to identify the tidal bore should be fairly easy, especially because of the reverse flow of the river."

Now this might be cool in the darkness but pretty much useless in the daytime. But the Bore performs for free, and I think people may gravitate to evening shows if it is worth watching.

I do think that artificial intelligence could do a better job of predicting the bore times which are really awful at best , and maybe could recognize the bore , turn on a beacon , sound a marine whistle or something cool. Also, the bore times should be displayed by the river where the people are, waiting for it.

ps: Just watched the bore on the live camera, the lights are still not working
