Storm Ashley Aftermath Blackpool 💨🌊😱

[@Carlysimon99]

Another great video Stephen and thankfully not much damage. I walked the dogs on cleveleys front and not much damage apart from slushy sand on the road

[@jonathanbowles2577]

Good Morning Stephen. There was rather a lot of Structural Damage but by sheer Luck, nobody got Injured or Died from the Powerful Winds that blew through Blackpool. Even what has just happened, i am very sure that Blackpool will brush themselves off, and start to re-build and become a Beautiful Sea Side Destination again. Very Well Done to You Stephen for going out and making a Incredible video of the Powerful Winds creating a Sand Storm. I really Hope that your Foot is starting to recover now. You are Feeling much better now. Look after yourself. Jonathan/ Peterborough.

Thank you Stephen I’m glad there wasn’t much Damage around Blackpool and your safe and sound ❤

[@mariebishop5169]

That's mother nature for you Stephen 😮❤x

[@user-pw3tr1xg2x]

Thank you for venturing out for the update, Stephen.

Festival in Blackpool YAY! 😢

[@Chele81]

Hi Stephen I was visiting with my mum over the wknd and got stuck on a tram just before the north pier when the prom got closed and trams stopped. We were stuck for half an hour on the tram. They then let us off but it was quite scary actually. My mum uses a mobility aid and we really struggled to cross the road, trying to hold on to her and her walker. I had to pin her up against a lamp post to stop the traffic to cross, we can laugh about it now 😂 we were supposed to go to see the funny girls but we just couldnt manage under the conditions sadly and we’re already running late due to being stuck on the tram. We managed to jump in a taxi back to Craig Y Don, it was a relief to get back, we enjoyed watching the high waves come over to the road into the early hours, it was quite a sight and experience. Really enjoy your channel and thought we might have seen you on our travels, maybe next time. 👋

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks for watching. Glad you got back safely 🙏

[@hazelmanship7516]

Thanks for the look around after the storm,such a shame about the light pool structure and the marquee,it looked amazing in there. Hope they can sort the other stuff that's damaged, stay safe Stephen, bye for now 😊x

[@georgesmellie8717]

Thanks Stephen for the update that is a good idea using the bike it will save your foot take care

[@Peter-i1f]

Evening Stephen thank you for this latest update, hope they can get any damage repaired as soon as possible. Thank you for explaining about the sand, and how it’s not good for trams. I never knew that, and now I’ve learnt something.

[@christinehodge3608]

Nobody hurt,thats the main thing, thank you Stephen for sharing this video 😊

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

That is the main thing Christine. Nobody was hurt in the storm.

[@martinwebb1681]

Thankfully not a lot of damage by the looks of it. Thanks for the aftermath update.

[@doomybear7389]

The tent says it all, In days of old when it was sunny in your heart and the beer was cheap the lads decided to have a weekend at Littlesea Weymouth, It was a gale when we got there and rain to suit, we tried our best to put the tents up being blokes but failed and slept in the cars and two of then was real Mini's and after that tents were out. Another great look around Blackpool.

[@ashleycunliffe6158]

I was there yesterday with my son to see the lights ,coach trip from 2 till about half 7..was glad to start heading home as the winds got stronger 😱

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Glad you got away before the storm

[@alansmith9166]

Hi Stephen... another great video...I have a buggered foot myself...it sucks big time... no worries.. keep going..it makes my day... Alan ❤

[@JulieBilson]

Thanks for sharing Stephen😊

[@Mike-hg1fn]

Lovely beach sunset today, very peaceful, there is something calming looking at the Blackpool coast.

[@alisonroberts6661]

These high winds are nothing new. Only since naming the storms, therefore sensationalising them have they become high profile. Born in 1965 in Blackpool. Lived on Alexandra Road, Albert Road and Napier Avenue. Got the tram to school and work. Was horizontal against the wind many a time, with my cookery basket, in the high wind running for my morning tram. I was in Blackpool last night.... experienced worse.

[@richardhinchliffe1678]

Great little video stephen thank you

[@brianrobinson7984]

I remember when we didn't bother naming storms. I preferred it when it was simply: a bit windy out there.. 😁

[@janobyrne2424]

Thank you for the video Stephen, saw and commented on the storm one last night and am surprised Blackpool appeared to get off so lightly! It wasn't the best place to put the marquee on the front sad to see the Flux extended gone bet it cost a fortune to set up. Pleased to hear no one got hurt and you got home safely. 😊😊😊

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Jan. I'm sure it'll be back next, bigger and better than before, provided the artist trusts Blackpool Council again.

[@chalkfarmcarsquadso1664]

Love your videos buddy

[@dianemckill5708]

Hope they got the horses home safe and sound last night after you filmed, I assume with the fire service closing the prom they would've had to take them back then.

[@shellydee9377]

Blackpool Lads did a great video as well Stephen. The sea was right up on the prom wasn't it!

[@stevensmith7460]

Evening Stephen, thanks for the update, except for the lightpool displays the town got away with it lightly. I think they'll have learnt a lesson for next time on how and where to put displays. Thanks for that Stephen, cheers.

[@chrishines6048]

I have seen and experienced some crazy weather down my neck of the wood and I remember back in 2020 during the first covid lockdown I had 6 tiles blown off my roof and landing on my driveway, the path and the road ( thankfully no one was hurt ) and my fence got blown over

[@MichelleMartin-ld6zg]

Evening Stephen glad to see 👀 your OK after storm Ashley 👍 I watched your video you had it really bad in Blackpool from Michelle in Nottingham take care 😊😅😂

[@ian4699]

Glad you are there,right now,right this minute,there innnnnn BLACKPOOL🎉🎉

[@DavidKidd-ft4xq]

Great video Stephen.

[@ChrisSenior-i2e]

Hi Stephen. Noticed in Boots chemist they sell shoe inserts by Dr Scholl specifically for plantar fasciitis. Cheers 😊

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Chris.

[@grahamshaw4686]

Very little damage with the force of the wind When I saw the Sign being down I was expecting to see the old Harry Wiseman Tv's Sign opposite Funny Girls.

[@outlaw4941]

It hit us very hard, hope everyone is ok and stay safe Stephen 🙏

[@ExplorewithBlindmanStu]

Great video. Whilst your waiting for your foot to improve you could always use your E Bike to reduce the walking temporarily.

[@user-pw3tr1xg2x]

Good idea.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

That is a good idea.

[@baileysbritain]

They took the shelter skelter down weeks ago ...😂

[@sarahillingworth2718]

When they said storm Ashley i thought of Ashley in prince of bel air lol

CALM AFTER THE STORM THANKS FOR THE VIDEO IT'S BRILLIANT ☺️😁😅😅😅😮😢😮😅😊

[@MichaelPercy-q2p]

It looks a cool day.

Great video ❤👍such a shame with the storm

[@juliewright-v3v]

thanks Stephen for another great video what a shame all that work

[@danielfairclough9885]

Blackpool compares how bad the weather. good exploring in Blackpool

[@davidhodgson4695]

Is it me or is there not much colour? I thought you were filming in black & white at first Stephen

[@martinwebb1681]

I think it's just a case of it being a dull day. The colours of the yellow tram and the red and yellow amusement signs stood out but everything else did look rather drab but there didn't seem to be much ambient light about.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Maybe I didn't add enough punch to the edit. It was filmed using a flat D-Log colour profile.

[@davidhodgson4695]

@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool Its not a big deal I just thought it bit strange

[@weAreNotAloneHere]

[@albertmidwinter5021]

Why is everyone talking about a 1950s town that has never evolved it is a complete dump

[@StevieProton]

It didn’t half bend those light poles next to the marquee.

[@racheljohnson9687]

It's a shame that those 2 exhibits have been damaged, but I'm thinking that flux. I'm thinking they'll probably put it back in the Wintergardens

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I don't think they will make the same mistake again. Anything delicate must go inside, somewhere safe.

[@racheljohnson9687]

@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool 💯

[@pauleynon5149]

Are you able to give us a view from the top of the tower that would be great

[@barriejones2890]

Does the council tip the sand back to the beach 🤔🤔 maybe there's a place where it is tipped out .

[@benjamindenton]

The Flux capacitor will need 1.21 gigawatts to get it going again.

[@tracyhughes2921]

Marquee the lights inside where smashed the blackpool lads went out 12pm and filmed it

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Yes I saw that. It was mental.

[@DisneyMarkUK]

They really need to put the intricate displays indoors next year.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Flux and that other light display should have been in the Winter Gardens.

[@DisneyMarkUK]

@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool Absolutely. Does it really look like they’re destroyed?

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

@@DisneyMarkUK Written off.

[@DisneyMarkUK]

@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpoolThat’s so sad :(

[@brianmchugh7679]

Was absolutely nothing. A normal Scottish autumn windy day. Good chest expanding fresh air. What's not to like 😃

[@FreddieandForrest]

Glad i didnt leave today😭😭

[@paulr7463]

I'm a new subscriber I'm really enjoying your videos...very interesting and informative. I was there yesterday on the prom but I set off for home at about 5 so I missed the worst of it. Does the tower close when the wind is up ? Thanks

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks for joining. The Tower may close in high winds, but it's something to do with the lift not running if the winds are too strong.

[@MrPlownds26]

I avoid wearing a hat if I'm going to the illuminations.

[@jonsmith233]

Deansgate kitchen closed last month after the owner died

[@dianemckill5708]

It looked like a snow storm on camera last night.

[@crazyedits50]

Biggest joke ste . The storm was forecast for over a week and they know what could be expected with regards to the wind. Wouldn't you have thought they light display would have been either postponed or dismantled before Sunday night . 😂 I was chuckling to myself at the incompetence 😮

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

We should call the the Clowncil 😂

[@elizabethdonnelly6451]

Hi Stephen

[@Lee-o8f]

Central dev in administration

[@emergencyequipmentplcrblx]

My garden was destroyed

[@davidhodgson4695]

Wrong type of sand on the tracks!!

[@srfurley]

When the tramway was first electrified it collected current from a conduit between the rails. They changed to an overhead wire because the conduit filled with sand. There is a short length of conduit track preserved in the disused Kingsway tram subway in London.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

@@srfurley You can see videos of the old conduit system on the Mitchell & Kenyon series.

[@ianlacey11]

Such a shame about the Flux exhibit,should really have taken that out earlier in the day with the warnings.Is it time the sea defences were beefed up with walls instead of the railings and flood gates,like those at Cleveleys,instead of just chains over the steps.

[@X-GamerPro-HD]

Glad we didn’t get any foods.

[@thebairdMi]

I missed something how strong was the winds?

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

70+mph

[@anthonyfeeney1210]

Put it in Bin

[@DavidDunning-m3v]

Hi Stephen you use your bike till your foot heals 😂

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Good idea. I will.

[@robbieelliottoutandabout1103]

They said that marquee could withstand 90 mph winds but it broken at 60

[@paulmaclachlan6960]

will flux get fixed or will Blackpool be fluxless ?

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

@@paulmaclachlan6960 I think it was destroyed 😢

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

It used to be the Odeon Cinema, but is now Funny Girls.

Neuron was damaged.

Not really, I just see him now and then.

Sorry but last night you were saying the council would have to come and take the marquee which was being blown away down? Lets face it you were struggling to keep your hat on, Elf and Safety!

Audio is messed up again. Left only?
