Storm Eunice in Cornwall

Image
We've taken quite a battering in Cornwall with storm Eunice, and storm Franklin may well bring more damage. Thankfully I've only had sleepless nights and flickering lights but many around me have lost power and lost tiles. My mum's greenhouse, plastic, twisted into quite an impressive modern sculpture. Thankfully no one I knew has been hurt. I can't say I ventured out myself to get any photos but I have sought out some who have. With waves dwarfing defences and monolith trees crashing leaving chaos in their wake, there has been no shortage of drama.  Here are a few pictures that capture the storm perfectly.  Tom Cox caught on camera this casualty of storm Eunice, a tree in Bude thankfully fell away from the road. From The Guardian .  The post office on St Martins, the Isles of Scilly took a great picture of the crashing waves. From the BBC . Poor Porthleven always takes a battering, wonderfully moody photographs from Cornwall Lives ' Greg Martin. A little bit of fun
