He's a brave chap! There is a plaque on the harbour wall in Porthleven in memory of two Policemen that were dragged over the wall in a big storm like that... and they were sat in their car!!!

Number 3 just really made my day, what on earth was he doing lol!

 

[DuncanDisorderly]

No3 LOL
I've done that on mountains holding my open coat like a cape.
Only problem with mountains is the thought always in the back of your mind about what happens if it really works and instead of slow-falling back to the ground you actually glide down the mountainside.

These shots are mighty impressive.

I cant even find any recognition as to who took them in the paper although there is some online.

Fancy being published in a daily paper and having no acknowledgement of your name. :nono:

Number 1 is both amazing and scary at the same time. Never seen a wave like that

If the storms do come back as stated in that link, I am going to the coast to take some pics

That's true, my dad was there the morning that happened, having lived here all my life there certainly have been lots of lives lost I have thousands of stories that I have been told over the years. Some more phots from the storm on my flickr page take a look
