After this morning's gales, torrential rain followed - with large
hail. This morning's big sea caused the prom to be completely closed to traffic, I think for the 1st time this winter. The waves throwing the seaweed as high as the guttering of the properties along the sea front. My trip to Morrisons was then timed (accidentally) to coincide with the monsoon. Having ignored the road closed signs on the prom (the tides was now well down) driven around the piles of seaweed & pebbles, the main rainfall event started. Following 45 minutes of torrential rain & hail we had to wade through a flooded car park to get to the car. The dual carriageway past the heliport was flooded, but it was just possible for a single file of traffic to get through. There was flooding near the railway station, with water coming up through the drains giving a rather attractive water feature effect. Around 15mm in 45 minutes at my house, but the rainfall was more intense a mile or so to the east. Pleased to report that the stream at the bottom of my garden is still where it should be.
