Welsh tsunami

A picture above the door of the church at Redwick, showing a representation of the floods of 1607, probably caused by a tsunami, although storm surge is also possible. Most of the land around the Severn estuary was affected, with waters up to 8 feet deep. Approximately 2000 lives were lost.
