West Cornwall, More severe & MUCH more exciting today!

MUCH more exciting today. 80mph gusts at Lands End, 75mph at St Ives, 50mph in Penzance. Swell 7-8m at Sevenstones, still not that large (11m has a 5 year return period - 8m occurs a few times each year) but it is VERY VERY rough. Worth a watch now, high tide around 17:30, though at 15:30 the harbour's already full. All boats in the car park. http://www.sennen-cove.com/index.htm You may have to reload a couple of times, obviously plenty online watching. Imagine having to launch the lifeboat in these conditions. Graham Penzance Where was the lifeboat, image shown yesterday BBC news , caught athwartships by a wave and near enough turned turtle, presumably near a coast so being launched, as a steady hand holding the camera/phone? -- Monthly public talks on science topics, Hampshire , England http://diverse.4mg.com/scicaf.htm |

Lifeboats are made so they can roll right over, though I can't imagine it's a pleasant experience, even if you are strapped in! Graham Penzance |
