Man poses in front of the sea: he wasn't prepared for what happened next
Florida (USA) - Vinícius Araújo is currently vacationing in sunny Florida. On West Palm Beach, the Brazilian just wanted to pose for a photo in front of the vast ocean. But then something happened that he hadn't expected!
In a TikTok video, Vinícius stands on the beach in the popular town of West Palm Beach in southern Florida.
He stands right on the edge of the shore and obviously wants to pose for a photo in front of the sea. But suddenly, out of nowhere, a veritable monster wave appears, swallows the TikToker briefly and hurls him forward.
A person films the whole thing and shortly afterwards notices that Vinícius' back is covered in bloody abrasions. Apparently the powerful wave had inflicted these serious injuries on him.
Storms are a regular occurrence in the West Palm Beach area, especially in the water. The weather service normally warns of high waves.
However, it is not known whether there were also warnings on this day.
