A huge storm cloud combined with lightning flashes to create an ominous sight off France’s Aquitaine coast on Tuesday, August 28.

Timothée Cousin, who was holidaying in the area, captured the scene when he stepped out of a beachside restaurant. “Mode Independence Day,” he wrote on Instagram, recalling scenes from the 1996 film. Credit: Timothée Cousin (Instagram: @timdrift) via Storyful
