Thin Blue Line and a Storm


The Thin Blue Line.
This Thin Blue Line will be all that is protecting us from rock falls, hopefully from Tuesday morning which is when the council plan to open the sea front. But what will protect us from the storm that is heading our way and should arrive in the early hours of Monday morning and still be around on Tuesday? It is Spring High Tide time and there is a depression over the South of England which means a storm surge. We down here on the south coast are lucky as the wind is coming in from the west at 40/50 mph and Torbay faces east so we should miss the worst of the weather. The north coast of Devon and Cornwall will be badly hit, so good luck to you if you live on the coast.
Children and grown ups; Stay away from sea walls and promenades, don't get tempted by the crashing waves, getting swept out to sea is not a fun way to spend the rest of your life.
High Tide in Torbay 08:02 and 20:21 on Monday and 08:20 and 20:56 on Tuesday.

From Jimmy Bus Driver, batten down the hatches Dave if the storm we're having down here on the Sussex coast is just a taster of what your having there.

We seem to have got of easy compared with other places but what's the good of having a bloody big bay if it doesn't shelter the place.
