sadly, the heavy seas and constant movement have taken their toll on the old girl.
Wednesday 5 February 2014
Newlyn flooded again as heavy seas continue to tear down the sea wall
The promenade has been closed to traffic since 4pm yesterday...
as heavy seas crash over the sea wall of the Jubilee pool filling it up...
at Wherry Town the road is littered with beach pebbles...
keeping the police busy monitoring access...
the morning brings an almost tropical tsunami look to Newlyn Green as high water sees the green itself breached constantly...
ever-watchful Tom keeps an eye on the huge wave running down the back of the quay in Newlyn...
as the seas continue to enlarge the hole that has appeared on the green...
the bridge in Newlyn gets another washing...
forcing traffic to drive slowly...
some home owners aren't so lucky as the streets surrounding the Combe river flood yet again.
Weather over the last 24 hours on the Sevenstones Lightship
As the low or depression passes and the centre approaches the south west the air pressure decreases and the wind speed on average increases...
as does the wave height which slowly builds as the weather system passes through…
the cursor placed over Newlyn on the Earth Wind Map gives a wind speed of approximately 60 km/h this morning.
Stormy Newlyn
Doubtless the local surfers will be out later taking adavantage of a good wave down the back of the quay - better known as 'The Graveyard' - not for the feint-hearted!
