Default West Cornwall - A proper gale this time

Unliked the well hyped St Jude's storm (yes I know it was a decent gale in some places, but not here) we now have a real gale anywhere a bit exposed.

Currently gusting 45-50mph in sheltered Penzance, the same as it peaked over the nearby moors during St Jude (E.g. peak gust of 44kt at Bosullow). Recent gusts close to 70mph om St. Mary's.

Sea conditions are very very poor,if you look at http://www.sennen-cove.com/harbourcam.htm before it get s dark, the breakwater disappears at times.
