The Spanish vacation islands of Menorca and Mallorca were hit by a phenomenon known as a 'weather tsunami' recently. Terrifying footage from Menorca showed a rapid rise in water levels at the beach, causing panic among tourists who fled the scene. Sunbeds and umbrellas were swept into the sea, but thankfully, no casualties were reported. This unusual weather event, triggered by rapid atmospheric changes, has occurred at least five times recently, with wave heights reaching up to 3 feet. Mallorca also experienced a similar event, where roads in Puerto Alcudia were flooded by the rising sea levels. Weather tsunamis, unlike seismic tsunamis, are caused by atmospheric pressure disturbances, leading to rapid changes in sea levels near the coastline.
