Storm Ophelia hits Cornwall - 60+MPH winds and huge waves 

biscuitsalive, it used to be better during the stormy ⛈ season, because the grockles were back up north... And that’s unfortunately changing now...

Ah, good ol' Porthleven. It always looks sort of dour there, in fair or stormy weather. I saw a piskie there once on that road that leads out to the pier/ harbour entrance😉, and I have lots of good memories there. Cornwall in general is wonderful, mysterious and beautiful, but some places there are really special.

+Norrin Radd. the grockles back up north laughing at fake news stories of sharks and "big" waves

Norrin Radd I guess their money is welcome though. Yeah?

Highgate Angel that’s because of the history of the place, the legends of pirates and of course the legend of King Arthur, the mystery of wizards, I would question your comment about seeing a Piskie I hate to break the illusion but I don’t think they exist, but you want to believe in them then go ahead. I live in Cornwall in a lovely little village called St Buryan, close to Penzance, a wonderful place, with wonderful people.

Joan Hopkin cool place to be creative. :)

Isn't this where Doc Martin was filmed? Sure looks like it.

@@Khahngenwater No, Doc Martin was filmed in Port Isaac on the north coast of Cornwall :-)

Why did you go to do stained glass in a building next to the shore during a named winter storm? Why not stay home that day. Sure it was an experience but if something had happened you would have just sucked up emergency services needed elsewhere. Well at least you got to work on your stained glass , and you have a story for the wine bar.

Ian Cognito many thanks! Yep lots of wiping seawater off of the lens that day. :)

Thanks! Yes lots of running around in my van, and my camera got soaked. :)

Slow burners. :)

How is that so?

rocker4577 it’s just really pretty and peaceful

I was thinking the same and then I saw your comment.

I agree *Cornwall* is so pretty, some of my favourite villages/ towns: St. Ives Mousehole Polperro Fowey Port Isaac Looe Padstow Falmouth (Town) Altarnun Liskeard Mevagissey Cadgwith Cove St Agnes Village Lostwithiel Helston Polruan Mullion Village Coverack Village Charlestown (Cornwall). But I would say my favourite county would have to be *Gloucestershire*, some of my favourites there: Gloucestershire: Stow-on-the-Wold Chipping Campden Winchcombe Bourton-on-the-Water Bibury Cirencester Moreton-in-Marsh Stanton Village Painswick Tetbury Wotton-under-Edge Upper Slaughter Lower Slaughter Snowshill Village Miserden Village Fairford Blockley Village Little Barrington Box Village Duntisbourne Thornbury North Cerney Chedworth Village Icomb Chipping Sodbury Stanway Village Barnsley Village South Cerney (not many pictures) Berkeley Broad Campden Daylesford Village Notgrove Slad Village Tewkesbury.

Me too

Graeme Simpson chalk and cheese. Felt sunny and happy on north. :)

Nery Rolando ruano pride f y n

Thanks! I popped a playlist of my short film/edits if you care to have a look - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4AsoXT44xKg.html

Thanks!

Always nice to have feedback. Thanks.

Kind words. Many thanks. My gear (and me) got a soaking filming this one. :)

thanks

There is only so long we can stop those waves crashing right over those the walls Sea levels are rising Land is getting smaller

Ed, Where is that place exactly?

@@scringe1 around 3 miles from from Helston near by is porthleven, on a sunny day Praa Sands is a wonderful place:)

Seattle and the UK actually have similar climates, albeit Seattle sees a drying trend in the summer (whereas the UK generally does not). The Washington coast is even more similar climate-wise. Cornwall also seemed to be within the storm's "dry slot" for a period of time, that would explain the lack of clouds. Please see this satellite imagery after the storm became extratropical (Ophelia was originally a hurricane over warmer waters to the southwest): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Ophelia_(2017)#/media/File:Ophelia_16_October_2017.png

@@BrandonClaridge Thanks for wonderfully informative & completely unexpected reply ❣ I learned a lot & am going to watch the video next. We hope to visit Cornwall someday. We've never been to the British Isles before - ironic as my great-grand was a British Marine. We also want to visit Guernsey someday.... Thanks again! Stay safe, happy, and healthy. Cheers from Seattle ❣😷😷🖐

I was filming in 60mph winds. 90% of in camera audio was ruined by wind.

Next time, turn the sound off and place two seashells, one over each ear. This has nothing to do with Judge Dredd's three seashells, relax. lol

Thanks

I have, and I recommend visiting Lizard village, Housel Bay with its lighthouse and Kennack Sands near Ruan Minor. (About 45 minutes drive from where I stayed on Lizard Point.) The place we stayed was directly above Housel Bay, next door to the Housel Bay Hotel. (If you ever go down there, look for a place called Morwen.) You really need to spend a minimum of 2 weeks if you go, because there's so much great stuff to see! (Oh yeah, and you'll need your own transport too! Some of the places are a bit spread out!) Good luck!

Cornwell , such a beautiful beautiful place ., but I had no idea that they actually had palm trees there .

@@lenanoro5427 Yes palm trees and to be honest because we see them all the time I probably take them for granted. Plenty of palm trees and seagulls lol Luckily I'm quite fond of seagulls. I remember being told they were lost fisherman's souls 😦

How lucky you were to have been in such an enchanting place , that’s just how I would describe it . I live in South Florida & never take the palm trees for granted , they just remind me of peace and tranquility . .

Cornwall is beautiful, we’re going in 4 weeks, I’ve not been for ages, can’t wait!

@@stewdapples267 Lucky you! ;)

@@mostirrational tell your what, you can stay with my Mrs and babies for a week and I’ll come and stay in Virginia for a week 👍

@@mostirrational like an exchange haha

@@stewdapples267 All right, just remember to pack lots of t-shirts and shorts. Those are all you'd want to wear.

There was in Ireland I believe. :(

agree annoyingly stupid

Hey. That’s written in the description. :)

Im coming to yours for a cuppa 😂😂😂😂

What is it like living down there? We live up North. Its all hills, we basically live inside a giant sink. 😂

Colin Prosser thanks Colin.

Mauricio Murga Silva Santisteban I think I would have to be very bored to make a vid out of that. (Doesn't mean it won't happen XD) But I just use a blower, a lens pen (for sensor) and those disposable ziess lens wipes. (For lens) then a basic lens cloth for final pass. (Wet lens wipes leave a tiny bit of residue.) Plus I'm no expert. I may suggest something that a pro camera maintenance guy would frown at regarding sensor. Last tip. Obviously do all above using very bright light (I use head torch) And in a low dust low air move meant environ. (Close windows etc)

Mauricio, get a life.

Harold Gillis thanks. Yes not easy in 50-60mph wind. (Had a mate blocking the wind with his body too XD )

U should its gorgeous

all calm this morning

Anna W cornwall is exposed to regular south westerly storms. So generations of preparation for storms like this. Not to say we don't get overrun with floods and overcome by the biggest hightide storms though.

Anna W they deal with rough seas all the time thats why the sea walls a great

I hope all is better now? Rsvp?

Thanks. mostly form artlist, subscription service, good value if you make lot of content.

Artlist - same here - probably i missed that song in the endless songsearching-sessions :)

John Mac we’ve taken the Atlantic and regular south westerly storms for a ling time. All the weak parts of our coast washed away along time ago.

Its the east coast that is weak, its all sand.

hey, mainly gh5, but some sony shots too - my gear here. and there is a camera gear playlist, with lenses etc too if u look on channel - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8uEKBRCPNWU.html

No sorry.

newquay is facing NW so it just got some fierce wind, and some big lumpy waves, the tide wasn't driven up onto it like on the south coast. so as far as i know, not as bad as seen in this vid.

I Williams you will need a artlist subscription. (Title in the description)

LGBT Pride Ireland got it bad. Few lives lost. Think England Cornwall got just the edge of it.

When you say "got it bad"....how bad is bad?

loss of life is bad of course - I heard 3 people were killed.....what about the damage?

LGBT Pride yes lots of roofs gone etc in Ireland. Think they had 80-90 mph winds there. All calm again here in cornwall today.

Ugh, I hope they restore the damaged buildings as soon as possible.

Cool man
