Holyhead Storm Emma update

Update one month after Storm Emma destroys Holyhead marina

[@robertparkinson6919]

I remember using one of the sailing clubs moorings and the strong wire cables. A northerly came in and I understood. That was not a full gale that time but I spent quite a few stressful moments on my Elizabethan 23 through the night! The power of nature is something that can catch anyone out.

This is such a shame for all, especially the owners of the boats, I hope they get sorted out as soon as possible.

Heartbreaking to watch but great footage you've managed to capture.

You kind of expect this in places like Florida where they know they get serious weather coming through on a regular basis, but Hollyhead and in fact England and Wales is really not known for it the same. Climate change is happening. I feel for the boat owners.

Remember "Capt. Ron" That was me back i the 20's and 30's. One thing I seemed to be pretty good at was fiberglass work. I knew how not to itch but I still hated it but people kept offering me pocket fulls of money to fix their boats then they would send me more customers. It never failed too, if there was going to be a hurricane, it was inevitable that I would be there when it hit. When Hurricane BOB hit long island I ended up getting stuck there doing fiberglass work in the winter in a building too big to heat no less. I was planning to be in mexico that winter.

We lost my great grandfather's sailboat "New beginnings" in this storm....

[@terrybarnhurst7119]

Sad to see all the damage but at least no lives lost

[@googleaccount6761]

Whoooo hoooo...look at all those good used boat parts, it's not a tragedy. This kinda stuff keeps me able to afford my boat😁😍

[@felixcat9318]

Sad viewing, but thankfully only property damage, no human casualties. Insurance companies will most likely cover the salvage and pay out for the losses.

Boats have soles :( this is very said..

[@koningbolo4700]

[@markrushton4631]
