Storm Ellen has visited and caused havoc -
at any rate it has on the beach at Woolacombe
There stood a row of some 70 beach huts - known as the 'painted ladies' due to the fact they are all given ladies names
Then on Thursday 20th August 2020 the storm came in with high tides and Very Strong winds,
which meant that some of the beach huts took a dip!
We got some photos on Thursday evening
People who had hired a beach hut were desperately trying to retrieve their belongings, but not all managed the task and their belongings were lost (hopefully they didn't leave anything too expensive in the huts) - here's a link about the hire of beach huts, although I wouldn't advise trying to book anything at the moment!!!
here's a couple of clips, one from Thursday night - 26 seconds of a floating beach hut -

During the afternoon diggers arrived on the beach to add huge sandbags
around the base of the Life Guards Hut
