Thanks Dan; the results of storms like this are often sad, but we have to try & appreciate the power & beauty also :-)

[@kizzyjo89]

Thats incrdible! i could watch that for hours!!

[@WilliamSpencer90]

Was quite a spectacle, it crashed over the seawall for about 6 hours! The road was flooded again this morning and is still closed currently. There is also damage to the seawall.

When it's like this in western Wales, they say "It's fresh out..." Crazy :)

It is often very sad but it's nature showing its real power and it doesn't get much more powerful than that.

[@MrDaddynomates]

Wow. Looks awsome. No waves here in Exeter lol just lots of wind n rain.

[@WilliamSpencer90]

LOL! We're all in trouble if you start getting them up there!

[@MrDaddynomates]

Lol. Another storm on Wednesday apparently.

[@WilliamSpencer90]

It's nice to see they are forming an orderly queue out at sea before falling upon us every couple days!

It's hard to believe now it's the same place I was in last year. It was peaceful and quiet 6 months ago...

[@WilliamSpencer90]

Yea, it's like another world, then within hours it looks like nothing happened, apart from the damage that is!

[@kastenfrosch4100]

I love an angry sea... was there two weaks later. and the sun was shining. I love Torquay and can´t do anything against...

[@WilliamSpencer90]

Amazing how things turn around isn't it.

[@kastenfrosch4100]

Really amazing! You're alright!

Looks like the view from Room 400 at The Grand Hotel.
We watched from the Bar....

[@WilliamSpencer90]

Was taken from the flats next door to the Grand; quite an evening of entertainment!

[@WilliamSpencer90]

Once in a lifetime, or as we now call these weather phenomenon, once in a couple of year experience. lol! Have never been at Meadfoot during a storm and it always seems so quiet when I go running there on summer evenings!
