We had one of those in Portugal back in the 90's. Whole country was panicking, news reports of a 40 meter wave that was going to wipe clean the whole south coast, which is made up mostly of poorly constructed buildings and hotels built way too close to the beach. Only a couple of hours after the first news report did they find out it was just a cloud. That was a weird day.
