This is most definitely the Netherlands. More specific the "Afsluitdijk" (referred to as Zuider Zee Dam).

I had another radar image up about 30 seconds accidentally before changing it to this one. If you somehow saw that old image right as the post went up my mistake, but the one that’s up is Normandy.

Yes, the linked article does have images of Normany, but this is clearly Holland

Are you sure? It looks like the coastline in France... I don't recognize the Netherlands here at all. What coastline are we looking at exactly? I don't see the afsluitdijk, nor recognize the surrounding coastline. Also, I have never heard anyone refer to it as Zuiderzeedam.
