Ventusky's spokesperson David Prantl said in an email response on Friday: "It was a model error. Ventusky serves as a visualization platform that collects data from various sources. The error originated in the model itself, so it was also reflected in the visualization on our website. In this case, the model is from the German Meteorological Service (DWD), with whom we are in contact and they have already resolved this error.
"Please note, that the model receives millions of data points from ships and buoys throughout the ocean. Problems can occur in such a large database. However, it may take a time to determine the exact cause of this error."

I figure there would have been a huge coastal tidal wave, but I did not see one reported. Thus my skepticism.
