A spectacular meteorological event near the coastal region of Cape May in the U.S. state of New Jersey left onlookers mesmerized as a massive shelf cloud swept across the sky, resembling a giant oceanic wave.
Video footage circulating on social media shows a long band of dark clouds stretching across the horizon, slowly advancing toward the coastal area. The cloud’s unusual formation created the striking visual illusion of a giant tidal wave floating in the sky.
The clip was shared on the social media platform X, where the breathtaking weather phenomenon quickly caught widespread attention and went viral.
