Here in Maine we know as natives at Thunder Hole to always be aware of the tide when by the water, especially during a storm. Unfortunately many times a tourist will defy logic and venture where the locals know it is not safe. Such was the scene on Porsguen beach in France when a retired couple found out the hard way a storm is no time to take a stroll onto the beach. Hold your breath and watch as an unexpected powerful wave rushed in and literally swept the couple way. Luck for them, a brave bystander dove into the rushing waters to save them!

A reminder you might not be so lucky.
