That sounds tough Bern..wouldnt fancy that drive.
My brother one time years ago used to be with Lloyds of London Terry and he said the highest level of claims used to come from people hit by falling scaffolding or things falling from scaffolding...steer clear.
Here is a picture of the gloomy looking seafront a few minutes ago..looking very miserable...the aftermath
The waves were thundering right across the seafront road last night, powering over the outer harbour walls too and particularly high over on the western arm...if it was daytime there would have been spectacular photos to be had. Most of the beach is up on the seafront promenade again.
