00:00A rare meteo tsunami struck southern Brazil on September 21st.
00:04The unusual event hit Santa Catarina's coastline around 6 a.m.
00:08Laguna, Jaguaruna, and Imbituba were among the affected areas.
00:12At Praia do Cardoso, footage captured the sudden transformation.
00:17Dry sand was visible one moment.
00:19About 20 seconds later, seawater had covered the beach.
00:22The surge rushed toward a waterfront restaurant.
00:25Fishing boats were ripped from their positions.
00:27Nets and equipment were scattered across the area.
00:30Streets were left covered with sand and debris.
00:33Water also damaged buildings, while part of a church wall collapsed.
00:37Fortunately, no deaths or injuries were reported.
00:40But what caused the sudden tsunami-like surge?
00:43Unlike a normal tsunami, this one was not caused by an earthquake.
00:47Instead, a fast-moving atmospheric disturbance pushed against the ocean.
00:52Officials recorded winds of 60 to 90 kilometers per hour.
00:55Rapid pressure changes helped amplify the surge near shallow water.
01:00The phenomenon is rare and difficult to predict.
01:03A similar meteo tsunami also struck Rio Grande do Sul.
