Social media users claim a mysterious clairvoyant has foreseen a &#8220;liquid rage&#8221; on that date. The anonymous clairvoyant is alleged to have correctly predicted Covid and the severe 2010 storm in Western Europe, Cyclone Xynthia.<\/p>\n<p>Japan suffered similar rumours with a manga artist predicting a tsunami for Saturday 5 July. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lemonde.fr\">Le Monde<\/a> reports that the rumours were taken so seriously that there was a 50% drop in tourist bookings from Hong Kong to the prefecture in Japan where the tsunami was meant to appear.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the Japan prophecy proving false, rumours of the new tsunami have gone viral and spread across the Mediterranean. In Tunisia the national meteorology institute was today forced to issue a <a href=\"https:\/\/lapresse.tn\/2025\/07\/07\/linm-met-en-garde-contre-les-fausses-rumeurs-de-tsunami-et-de-canicule-extreme\/\">formal statement<\/a> denying any tsunami threat, and urging citizens to not spread rumours that have no scientific basis.<\/p>\n<h2>Has the C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur ever had a tsunami?<\/h2>\n<p>Although there is almost zero chance of a tsunami this week, the French Riviera has in fact experienced a tsunami before, although it was a rare occurrence. Back in 1979, on 16 October an underwater landslide &#8211; triggered by work on the Nice Airport extension &#8211; caused a tsunami of 3-metre high waves to crash along the Baie des Anges coast. The disaster tragically claimed 11 lives.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9511\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9511\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-dominant-color=\"637c80\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #637c80;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-9511 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tsunami-sign-beach-Antibes-Ponteil-Large-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Tsunami sign beach Antibes Ponteil\" width=\"696\" height=\"928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tsunami-sign-beach-Antibes-Ponteil-Large-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tsunami-sign-beach-Antibes-Ponteil-Large-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tsunami-sign-beach-Antibes-Ponteil-Large-315x420.jpeg 315w, https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tsunami-sign-beach-Antibes-Ponteil-Large-150x200.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tsunami-sign-beach-Antibes-Ponteil-Large-300x400.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tsunami-sign-beach-Antibes-Ponteil-Large-696x928.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tsunami-sign-beach-Antibes-Ponteil-Large.jpeg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9511\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tsunami sign in Antibes.

At Cannes Train Station for instance, you&#8217;ll find a sign letting you know it&#8217;s a &#8216;safe zone&#8217; in the unlikely event of a tsunami. And in Antibes, at Plage Ponteil and next to La Gravette beach you&#8217;ll see signs directing you to move 200 metres inland to safe zones in the event of a tsunami. Cannes was the first city in mainland France to receive a UNESCO certificate for being &#8216;Tsunami Ready&#8217;, in January 2024.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9512\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9512\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-dominant-color=\"889aa9\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #889aa9;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-9512 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tsunami-safe-location-Cannes-train-station-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Tsunami safe location Cannes train station\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tsunami-safe-location-Cannes-train-station-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tsunami-safe-location-Cannes-train-station-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tsunami-safe-location-Cannes-train-station-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tsunami-safe-location-Cannes-train-station-560x420.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tsunami-safe-location-Cannes-train-station-80x60.jpeg 80w, https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tsunami-safe-location-Cannes-train-station-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tsunami-safe-location-Cannes-train-station-696x522.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tsunami-safe-location-Cannes-train-station-1068x801.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/www.rivieraedition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tsunami-safe-location-Cannes-train-station.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9512\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cannes Gare (train station) is a tsunami safe location.
