The Valentine's Day storm

In a previous post I mentioned that we had gone down to Portholland around 4pm on Friday to see the waves coming in.  This was the first time I have been out to see the storms that have battered Cornwall over recent weeks, I really regret not going out before now.  I was stood on the cliff top looking down on Portholland.  I felt so sorry for those that live there, it must have been very frightening to have those waves crashing against your windows.  A few weeks back a car was washed out to sea here, thankfully the driver managed to get out.  If you look closely you can even see one of my red telephone boxes in there lol






They aren't great quality images but the wind was so strong I am surprised I got anything, plus the light was fading fast.

  5. Thank you. The houses are still occupied and people were in them at the time. In fact at one stage a couple were stood on the doorstep having a cuppa and watching!!!! Guess they are use to it. x
