BRITTANY, France — Aerial footage captured an incredible moment of nature’s power: a massive wave overtaking a light house.

The footage, shot by a French filmmaker, was shot from a helicopter near the island of Ushant. It shows Storm Imogen as it made landfall in France on Monday. Fifty-foot waves completely engulfed the lighthouse at one moment.

The BBC reports Storm Imogen left a trail of destruction in the United Kingdom before moving off. At one point, 19,000 customers were left in the dark. At least one person was missing.
