I can only imagine what "phenomenal" means. Like you said, "pity the poor fishermen". -- Tim http://www.pitfieldbeershop.co.uk/ |

It's looking nasty for Cornwall as per the updated early warning http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/..._warnings.html The 06Z run of the WRF model indicated sustained winds in excess of 50KT for a time http://www.meteociel.fr/modeles/wrfn...28-1.png?08-15 Jon. |

I see gusts of up to 80mph predicted for Penzance http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...t_weather.html and Penzance is sheltered from the west. Porthleven looks like really catching it. Hopefully the warnings have been sufficient to ensure the fishermen are all back in Newlyn. I remember a severe gale a few years back, which affected the whole south coast, the BBC sent a reporter to the Serpentine to show how rough it was. (This is not a joke). Graham Penzance |

There is a film being produced showing waves of 45' being surfed. Jet Skis were used to tow them out.
