LONDON (AP) — Coast guard tugboats headed to the aid of a tanker adrift in the English Channel on Monday as rain and strong winds lashed southern coasts of Britain in the winter’s worst storm.
Commuters struggled through the morning rush hour after gusts of up to 82 mph felled trees and power lines, while huge waves disrupted ferries and shipping to English ports.
The Environment Agency issued seven severe flood warnings and urged people to stay away from coastal areas, where high tides and huge waves threatened to breach flood defenses.
And in Devon the coast fared no better. However, Devonians have their own way to deal with waves…………………….Get a board and a wet suit and chill out! Why worry?
