Shows you the power of nature, more people killed again this year, to go with all those last year who got caught in the snow. The climate is getting worse, no doubt.

 

[whats wrong with you all]

It really is unbelievable here. The sand is knee high on the road along the seafront, and rocks as big as a person have been ripped out from the wall. Hard to believe the sea did that when you look at Aber on a normal, calm day.

Just been watching this on the news, unbelievable, but more unbelievable are the idiots going out in it, it's not the idiots I feel for as much as the rescue services that are stretched enough having to go rescue said idiots, makes my blood boil, be safe people.

Coastguard was called out where I was working today as some berk got swept away by the sea, there's been loads taking photos at the most dramatic parts which might make good pics but also has the risk of being swept away.

As one of the emergency services personnel working in Aber it has looked rather hairy at times.

Were I to be going just for a look I think I would stay on the castle. High, well protected, good view.

We did see a couple of guys grabbed by the sea from the Prom though they managed to cling to a bin and seat before the wave took them all the way in. They then ran so fast we haven't seen them since.

The old public shelter has now collapsed into the hole in the prom as well. I think its going to cost a bit to fix.

My oldest son is living in Alexandra Hall now, on the seafront, and keeps getting evacuated. A lovely sea view from his third floor window too, right up towards Constitution Hill.

I couldn't possibly comment I will say though some idiot decided to go out to the end of a wooden jetty the other day, had to be rescued by the RNLI as he couldn't get back through the waves crashing over it. Just for the sake of a few pictures as well!

I feel sorry for him, I am a 3rd year in private accommodation and am just outside the danger zone, we haven't been evacuated yet.

Don't suppose he's a bushcrafter as well is he? Me and a few friends are planning a camping trip in a few weeks and I'm sure he'd be welcome.
