An Inishowen woman has shared her footage of what she described as a mini tidal wave in Buncrana and her dog's delightful reaction to the phenomenon.
Janet Fletcher recorded the tidal bore at Buncrana's Stone Jug on January 7. Janet said the tide was low at the time.
"Low tide time for that Friday was 15:35 and my video was taken at 14:40."
