The incoming tide is back up to the pebble ridge at Westwood Ho!

I recorded a lot of video this afternoon. JCB Diggers attempting to do repair work to the sea defences

I'll link to the playlist: Lots of rough ocean shots (up close)

Right click in the video - copy video URL - paste into browser, and you'll see the playlist

Quietest storm of them all here. Then it wasn't forecast to be windy. However anybody half listening to the news this morning would be expecting Armageddon everywhere rather than the west parts of the south coast.

I've noticed a warning for Snow out for parts of Yorkshire tomorrow.

Yes slightly overhyped maybe..there are more than normal sub 950mb lows this winter that's something I noticed...a very speedier jet to normal.

Ahh fair enough. Seriously organised stuff though and looks very intense for January.

Very violent squall went through here (Chichester Harbour) around 3 / 3.30. Gusts around 70mph. Hail, thunder, and series of strange bulbous shapes the like of which I've never seen before hanging off the bottom and end of the dark squall cloud. Wondering whether they were potential whirlwinds - we've had a few here in the past. Possible (new to this!)?

Probably Mammatus cloud, indicating some severe possibly tornadic storms....

Good way of doing. Sometime I'm going to put a camera system in my car for idiot drivers and cyclists. When I do I should get some good weather shots as well.

Wind maybe picking up here a little but not much.

Gone crazy here, just had a power cut for several minutes and 3 flashes of lightning with thunder, last one was forked lightning. Car and house alarms going off. Torrential rain and hail too. And as I type another big flash!

Lightning struck a pylon I imagine.

A lot of damage on the seafront in Aberystwyth, sea defenses destroyed in places

Many of the seafront buildings have been flooded. Another high tide expected this evening so more damage likely.

Clearly our entire coastline's defenses need a good looking into after this winter... We have been far too complacent with old defenses.

With cost cutting the money won't be available so they'll just have to patched up with two fingers crossed.
