Storm Ciaran! Seafront destroyed ​@Teignmouth

[@richmanatheart1]

Can’t believe how many people were down there watching it! It was the bloke with the dog at the end that really got me, 😂 fair enough if you want to risk your own neck but that poor dog didn’t have much of a choice. As for anyone taking kids there.. well... just speechless. Still, as long as you can get the phone out and record it, hey! 🤦‍♂️

[@stevegleed5]

No snowflakes down here

[@d220219b]

Not only are you putting yourself at risk from the waves and debris but you've got kids with you as well. Irresponsible is an understatement just to get all excited over a rough sea....

[@CheshireCat6639]

Whilst I get that a rough and very dangerous sea is exhilarating! Thank God no debris hit kids or animals. Respect for the sea is utmost!🌊🌊 not really the best role model putting their own kids in potential danger..? Just thankful that no one was hurt❤

[@CheshireCat6639]

​@@stevegleed5snowflakes aka ? 🤔🤣❄❄

[@stevekelly5166]

That would have ruined your new high heels and skirt, Rich.

[@MaureenDunn-g1n]

Great footage. No thought for safety; the young child could easily have been lost to the power of these waves. TAKE CARE!!!!!!!

[@cannyexplorer5357]

You must be carefully as it’s not only water that comes crashing over but stones too. They hit you, you’ll be on your way to A&E.

[@stephensnell5707]

You mean careful

[@TONE11111]

specially mick jagger

[@CheshireCat6639]

I agree 💯..you must have respect for the sea,no.place for children as fabulous it is to watch. Those massive waves have been know to take lives. Please stay safe❤

[@malingram3451]

Love the commentary, lived in teignmouth for 10yrs, never seen it this bad...wish i was there!

[@garysoar1234]

Great coverage, Teignmouth got a right battering. The power of the water is amazing.

[@smokeyandmontycatfamily6298]

Great video! Thanks for sharing

[@1DX2020]

Christ...its wind a rain and sea. Its Autumn. Its always done it. Imagine a real hurricane coming at you

[@Beruthiel45]

The salt water will ruin any soil and plants, not just damage vehicles and structures. In olden days warring armies wouid salt the fields of their enemies to destroy their food supply. So much damage, it's scary. I hope the climate change sceptics get a clue. All sorts of weather extremes rarely seen before. 😢

[@simonworthington3330]

Wow that was bad indeed and the poweer of water for all to see. I do hope you power washed vehicle after all that water and salt on your car.. Great video.

[@pamelawhite3709]

Oh my oh my such devastation at my beloved Teignmouth 😢I hope you are all safe and well 😊the beauty of Mother Nature but the devastation stay safe everyone ❤😊xx

[@gillyjones4316]

Thanks for filming. Thats wicked weather.

[@paulpalmtree9295]

All the sea water over and under the cars, well I would expect some rust and corrosion issues in the near future.

[@stevekelly5166]

Do you ever drive on salted roads?

[@itsjudystube]

I live on the north west coast. If the weather is like that we are not allowed to walk along. I’m surprised the police weren’t patrolling.

[@Anitalevy156]

Oh wow ! The size of those waves !!

[@markabrey9255]

The pier is in such a state of disrepair I’m suprised it will withstand this

[@josiebutler8729]

The pier is a family buisness that was already battered completely in a storm a few years ago, with most the rides taken off of the pier itself :(( I really hope they will be able to recover and keep running after this damage although I'm not sure

[@elizabethbrown8833]

Thoughts.n prayers for coastline Businesses and all First Resoondet Teams /Forces/Council Teams 💔💔🙏🏻

[@emmsue1053]

Fantastic footage, thank you!! Stay safe all.

[@peterclarke3990]

That is absolutely superb! Thanks for posting this. Incredible! Must have been amazing to have actually witnessed it! The power of nature never ceases to amaze me and it’s just air in motion! Not so sure about the lack of wisdom used by parking so close to the waters edge though at the end of the video. Won’t do your car any good that’s for sure! I’ve got a Rav 4 too. Fortunately, it’s under sealed!

[@stevekelly5166]

"Fortunately, it’s under sealed!" You need to add some more seal then so it's sealed fully.

[@Cat-ni6fm]

Would like to see the final damage after the storm passes. Did any more beach huts get damaged or destroyed?

[@whtalc]

Wow fantastic footage 🌊

[@herbert9241]

I was down there on the Saturday evening, it was throwing up boulders the size of your television. Evokes memories of an occasion in the mid-to-late 1970s, I was 10-ish, it was a dark mid-evening and father parked the mk I Ford Escort estate containing myself and my sisters right on the edge of the sea wall up at the other end of the prom, near the outdoor swimming pool, during stormy seas. Not quite as stormy as this but stormy enough to make it a foolish stunt nonetheless. Waves crashing over the car. I thoroughly enjoyed it but my sisters were, understandably, having kittens - which was probably the silly old duffer's intention. He eventually saw sense and departed the scene before the scene departed us. The insurance company might not have paid out in such reckless circumstances.

[@StonecoldZigAustin]

@@herbert9241 awesome fun lol

[@StonecoldZigAustin]

@@herbert9241 the worst one was 2014 when the train line was destroyed , I was there . It was another level

[@herbert9241]

@@StonecoldZigAustin - I was thinking of this as I was typing that but wary of blotting out the internet with my biblical sagas. Since you mention it ... I was returning (to Teignmouth) from Exeter by train, late afternoon / early evening on a Saturday. Not that I can commit specific days to memories but by deduction it would have to have been a Saturday for me to make that trip. Pre-dusk visibility was all-but-lost to waves crashing over the train carriages as we teetered slowly along the Dawlish stretch, stopping for a few minutes at several intervals. As you might imagine, a murmur of high-pitched female consternation in the air. I enjoyed it - not necessarily the screeching and wailing inside the carriage but the wild nature outside. Seems crazy now that they would continue operating so close to the cusp of inoperable conditions - as if driving slowly would evade the attention of the angry sea. They could have coughed up for a few taxis there and then and laid on some semblance of a bus replacement service thereafter.

[@johntyjp]

The sea waves at us but did you wave back??!!!! 👋😆

[@leonwilks4114]

Fantastic footage of awesome power well done and as stated that silly old man at the end making his dog be apart of his foolishness doesn't sit well with me

[@pillybent]

Amazing the pier is still standing

[@nadiabernard1146]

Superbe région 😮 c'est très beau,

[@herbert9241]

Devon is blessed with natural beauty - the coast and the moors.

[@franktuckwell196]

Why are we drawn towards the one thing that can damage us? Thats not a few white horses, thats a stampede!! So good that you didn't put a dodgy sound track over it, the ferocity of the wind is music enough. Thanks for sharing.

[@herbert9241]

Good point. Although I'm not a fan of histrionic 'whooping' reactions, there's no motivational muzak that comes close to the sounds of nature.

[@patriciakrawczyk7848]

Yes it is amazing, but I feel sorry for anyone whose homes have been damaged. 😢

[@muddeeewenched854]

All that energy... it would make loads of electricity... the power of water 💙

[@Tstopmotion]

Careful! Sometimes the waves wash out entires structures.

[@dawnpage6817]

Great footage! You're a braver man than me Gunga Din! That poor pier!. Keep those little ones safe!

[@Olliewasnothere]

I walked over to the pier it was absolutely battered it got into the machinery and ruined electrical stuff (in the arcade)

[@philipsleddenhouston6764]

What ? Has it been raining?

[@paulwood1088]

we are a island get used to it its over hyped now media lol nice footage

[@yvonneb.2570]

Crazy ❤❤❤

[@Cannon.7777]

7 is God's favorite number, 7 days of the week, 7 days of Jericho, a giraffe has 7 vertebrae in its neck so do we and a mouse and every 7th wave is the highest.

[@nadiabernard1146]

Superbe image😂😮❤ bonjour de vos voisins de loin bretons de Quimper

[@MikeGreenwood51]

Bonjour

[@dale2540]

Looks awesome.. hope the pier stays together! Sorry for all the damages :/

[@58jennypenny]

my favourite place to be...

[@davidpenney2334]

Stop sensatipnalizing every bloody thing...the front hasn't been destroyed....Grow up, baby

[@freshergaming6627]

Why are people bringing their dogs into danger like this? ESPECIALLY THE CHIHUAHUA!! 😂

[@Sunshine123x]

Spectacular but what damage.

[@harris4018]

time they had some decent builders down there every thing is rubbish for a sea front

[@simonharris4463]

I was there only on Monday walking along the beach with my dog 🐕 that crazy

[@JamesWilliamsWill]

Ziggy you say damaged, I say improved !

[@paulwatts1963]

wow

[@Marseilledevosstore]

Sewage Brown Water aww 💩 🚿 when u come home

[@MS-Patriot2]

Indeed. Massively over developed housing in that area and the raw sewage is often pumped out in a delightful brown cloud as the tide recedes.

[@StonecoldZigAustin]

Keyboard trolls can moan but I know what I’m doing :) and would not put my children in danger. Rest assured.

[@johndejure9849]

we all know what we are doing, however the sea in storm conditions is freak and powerful ,car on its roof, family swept out , not in the script, does not cut it! stay safe, frontline filming , a risk beyond me!

[@harryweatherstone8331]

Annoying commentary, grow up you are also endangering your children!!

[@nadiabernard1146]

On confirme par Toutatix sacrée tempête

[@nadiabernard1146]

Bonne journée voisins

[@stevegleed5]

Looks pretty gentle mate Don’t no what all the fuss is about was fishing in bigger waves last week End of days🤡🤡

[@woodyforest7308]

HAARP is a hell of a thing....

[@delhog6161]

Calm down youth 🙄

[@JamieShallRock]

I live here lol

[@harryweatherstone8331]

His commentary drove me mad!!

[@aliscat]

People moan & post videos of their ‘poor dog’ on Bonfire night. How is it ok to make yr dog endure this?

[@robsx4280]

Not a great place to park 😂

[@happydays3678]

PLEASE, this isn't safe. So nervous watching this. With children too, what are you teaching them for heavens sake? So irresponsible of you.

[@stephenfarthing3819]

Teignmouth is known to me. Where Dawlish will probably survive better than this. Teignmouth is much more vulnerable and less able to absorb the damage. Further back towards the town - it ought to be safer - even so! This is still unprecedented! It's going to be the case that the flower beds will not be restored. If the result is that if this weather is due to environmental damage - then it would be a waste of time and money to restore these.
