The sea level rose sharply and flooded parts of Puerto Alcudia, on the northeast coast of the popular holiday island.METEO-TSUNAMIS are a freak weather phenomenon that causes large, tsunami-like waves. Most tsunamis are geological, meaning they are triggered by vertical movement on the seabed, which can be caused by an earthquake or landslide.A small, rapid change in atmospheric pressure – even by a few millibars – can change the sea surface elevation by a few centimetres.
They can reach heights of six feet and more, and have been observed in many places around the world, including Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Coast and the Mediterranean.
