    Evening All, well it was wild weather down at the seaside office today! The outrageous onshore wind practically stacked water in the bay to the extent that the tide hardly dropped at all, beating the cliff with no mercy. Crazy kite and wind surfers were really pushing their boundaries, a couple I spoke with had actually frightened themselves! Still about 30 minutes before sunset there was an amazing light display ….

    • cool photo. Yes it was mad here too. Had an even crazier 10 minutes when it felt like we were in a tornado! Took a roof tile off the garage, and brought down a few trees in the area too.

      • Wow! Tornado, AJ?! We always saw you as a Whirling Dervish!

        • Well I didn’t see any funnel at all, but the nature of the wind changed significantly – becoming more rotational and stronger. Caused quite a bit of damage around here and into Northamptonshire apparently. 20 minutes later I was on the garage roof replacing the tile!

          • Scary stuff! Good thing it didn’t spot you on the roof and recurve to suck you up in to the vortex! Proper adrenalin junkie moments! Hope the damage is minor all around. The best place to be in weather like that is on a ship at sea, counter-intuitively: at least they are (used to be!) built to take it! You won’t catch me ‘out there’ any more, though (:O))))))
