We have friends up on the cliff but it must be very windy up there………not sure I would want to walk up!!
The Police have closed our road off to stop people coming down to have a look. Fire Brigade are outside too but we are ok so far. The waves in the harbour occasionally go over the top and although high tide has happened, the Environment Agency are saying the danger time is between 10 pm and 2 am. It is a force nine gale at the moment.
The houses facing the sea have waves crashing over the top of them and the back gardens are filling up with water.
