Big storm here in the UK, I got some shots of the Sea

Hi

Last night in Cornwall we had winds of upto 80mph. This morning there were broken fences, a few trees and general damage.

I popped down to the sea for a few snaps of Porthleven and Poldhu cove have a look here where I published them

Porthleven

Sadly you cant see how big they really are, but hey ho

 

Hmmm, in Holland we had only mild wind, and a little bit of rain, nothing else. Strange how much that can change over a few 100 kms. Nice pics!

 

Thanks for the comment.

It is strange how the weather can be so localized. My wifes mother only a few hundred miles away also had little wind last night.

 

We are getting it bad here as well. I would guess its very rough along the coast.

Cool pics Jim.

 

It seems to be building again here

 

very beautiful pictures, thats scary " winds upto 80mph "

 

Wow... Nice shots. How do you manage to catch those shots?

 

Just snapped with a 5 year old Fuji MX and a 3 and 5 year old hanging onto my legs!! in a gale lol

 

Wow... Those are very nice and well taken shots. Think you had taken lots of photos with you camera.

 

32 shots in total, there are a few more that I could use. 12 in total

 

Wow.. Sounds cool. Will you be posting them?

 

I Just might!!

 

I live north of St Austell, 550 feet above sea level and we catch all the gales. It was pretty bad last night and it looks like it'll be blowing a hooley again tonight. I've got the torches and candles out just in case. They're great photos but mind you don't get washed into the sea Jim!

 

Looking forward to photos.

 

I stayed well away from it!! it was leathel down there today!!

 

Very high winds here in Dublin but thankfully the worst of the rain is gone. Most flights to Dublin have either been cancelled or diverted.

We have a forcast for 150km/h winds so its perfect conditions for flying a kite but it is supposed to be dying out later.

The winds are coming in from the Atlantic so there is a nasty nip in the air, I would hate to be in Western Ireland at the moment as they are getting the full force of the bad weather.

 

We had some hugw HAIL storms as wel on the cold winds, burrrr!!

 

I was actually just reading a man here died after getting hit with a wave. http://www.rte.ie/news/2006/1203/down.html

15,000 home with out lecky so its advisable to have those candles ready and the PC connected to a car battery.

 

I'm from Cornwall. My parents live in Perranporth. Living in Nottingham at the moment, but will be back to Kernow for Christmas!! Can't wait!

Nice pictures by the way!

Thats a Sad story indeed
