The Weather Worsens

It's ridiculous.

Half the coastal towns and villages in Cornwall are under water. Plymouth, Torcross, Teignmouth, Exmouth, Killerton, Stoke Canon, Topsham, Budleigh,Sidmouth,Seaton, all flooded. Dawlish was hit so badly that the sea wall collapsed leaving the main railway line hanging suspended in mid-air, and great swathes of road have been destroyed. Trains from Exeter to Newton Abbot are cancelled and the service is likely to remain so for months as it's going to take a long time to repair the line. There are no trains to Plymouth or Cornwall. Exeter Quay is flooded. The winds have downed trees all over the region. Kingsand in Cornwall has been hit hard - doors and windows smashed in by huge waves, houses filled with water, and the clock tower is in danger of collapsing into the sea. The harbour defences at Porthlevan were destroyed and the sea overwhelmed fishing boats in the harbour and sank them. Thousands of people (mostly in Cornwall) are without power.

And further up the coast - Brighton Pier has been split in half.

Three villages in the Somerset Levels have been evacuated as there is severe flooding - the life-threatening sort.

And there's no let-up in sight. The forecast for tomorrow is more of the same. And again over the weekend and into next week.

Oh yeah - and a minor inconvenience really, considering what others are going through - the site is flooded, we can't work, so no pay. But at least I'm whole, not flooded, and so far the roof has withstood the gales. Lot to be grateful for there, really.

The weather (worldwide) is absolutely, completely, stark stone raving bonkers.

Stay safe folks, see you next week and may your God/s go with you.
