When I was about 7 one night at a school holiday camp on the beach I could see the edges of all the clouds over the water glowing. The older kids told me it was the sign of a tidal wave coming. I got really scared and ran and told one of the camp leaders about it. It was just the full moon lighting up the clouds.
