Full force of the heavy swell is evident

The Environment Agency publishes a full list of current flood warnings to keep those in areas affected by the severe weather informed of the latest guidance and information.

7 am on Monday morning and the swell is evident running along the back of the North Quay... Fish Merchant's, Samways are another company with new look transport.... last of the fish going ashore from the St Georges.... that is one very big swell apparent Monday afternoon... just as well the wind was not around the Southerly mark as the combination of deep depression and high tide would have seen the harbour flooded badly....

see a few short clips of the movement evident in the harbour Monday evening.
