When Storms Hit the Beach | Caught on Camera

Hello everyone. Those waves. This is Cabo San Lucas. They look small but they're probably 15 to 18. Oh my goodness. Just a few minutes earlier everyone had been peacefully sunbathing but nature had other plans. The girls were just about to leave a chilling beach in Santander, Spain when one of them decided to literally taunt the ocean. Getting drenched is the least of your worries when the sea gets this violent. A wave this strong could drag several people out with it and getting back to safety would be nearly impossible. Now this is what a 4-7 storm looks like. A lifeguard captured the moment waves after pounding the shoreline for hours finally undermines the foundation and an entire house vanished into the surf in a matter of seconds. On September the 28th 2018 the Indonesian island of Sulawesi suffered one of the most devastating natural disasters in its history. A magnitude 7.5 earthquake triggered a massive tsunami and the reactions of everyone caught in it are more than understandable. Waily, waily, waily. Watch it, Savage. Pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass. All motor, all motor. More sailing. All motor, huh? Look at this big wave coming. It's a monster. Holy Moses. Towering 16 meter waves completely blocked out the horizon and nearly swallowed the shoreline. Good thing the most curious onlookers managed to run in time. Look at that, Kevin. It's coming in, Kevin. The waves we see crashing onto the shore often began hundreds or even thousands of miles away in a storm you never witnessed yet you're still dealing with its aftermath. When the sea wants to break free nothing can hold it back. A powerful storm in the Cantabrian Sea swept over the entire waterfront leaving locals and tourists seriously shaken. The beach is now officially the worst possible place to get caught in a hailstorm. There's nowhere to hide. This natural arch and rocky chasm on Portugal's Atlantic coasts in the town of Cascais is called Boca do Inferno, literally Devil's Mouth in Portuguese. The boxes, Stefano. Look at the water from the stairs. Our boxes. What was inside? Look at the water. Let's go, let's go. In 2014, a series of powerful storms battered the beach at Gijon and the entire Cantabrian coastline with waves reaching more than 10 meters high. Shit. You can't exactly say these people were lucky to witness something as rare as a sandstorm right on the beach but it's definitely a vacation I'll remember for a long time. What kind of place is both beautiful and dangerous at the same time? The seaside, of course. A yellow warning is in effect due to heavy surf and the ocean is seriously losing its temper. When you live on the English Channel you have to be ready to regularly negotiate boundaries with it. The problem is it keeps redrawing them. This is so, so sad. It's really, really sad. During the storm, the ocean put the shoreline and everything in its path to the test. Moments like this really show how quickly the line between land and water can disappear and all because of a simple high tide. Here we go. Switching this. Oh yeah. While everyone else was celebrating the arrival of 2018 with sparkling champagne, people on northern France's Atlantic coast got plenty of bubbles as well but definitely not the kind you drink. That's the coast for you. Always changing and not always giving you a heads up. The atmosphere stirs up the ocean and the ocean responds by changing the air's temperature and humidity bringing more clouds and stronger winds.
