Is Borth still afloat

Rumour has it that following the storm earlier - Borth is a bit like a war zone and that Ynyslas now has a new boating lake - where the car-park used to be?

Al - have you had chance to go take a look - and mebbe a cupla pickys??

Yep, Borth is a mess and the boating lake is looking good. Some photos I took earlier here:

Aberystwyth is quite a mess too. Take a look at these videos from the seafront earlier.

http://www.itv.com/news/wales/2014-01-03/video-huge-waves-hit-aberystwyth-seafront/

High tide tonight isn't quite so big, but the wind and waves are set to increase overnight and tomorrow mornings tide is just as big as today. Hopefully the winds will have eased considerably by then though otherwise we're in for another battering.

We were evacuated in the end, but all seems OK this morning now that we are at home:

There's quite a big swell now though and the sea was breaking over the top of the sea wall all along the golf course again this morning.

Good to hear you weren't flooded. Is Borth a mess like Aber?

Must admit the stench of sewage on the way out over the railway from ynyslas last Friday morning was a bit worrying . Think they also need a SOG system Spooks!

Yep, Borth is quite a mess as well... Plenty of flooding, debris everywhere. The sea wall has been destroyed all along the gold course and the walls around the grass by the toilets has been knocked over and strewn across the road too... There are also plenty of pebbles, boulders and sand all over the road as well.

Not quite as bad as the seafront in Aber, but only because there was slightly less stuff in Borth to be destroyed!

We are standing strong though!

Is the beach accessible at Ynyslas now or is it still only lake sailing in the car park? Wednesday looks like there might be wind if I could fit it in time wise.

Business as usual at the Vic as far as I know, and you can get into the Golf Course Car Park, but only the southern end of it.

this is the position as of Sunday, the water has dropped 3 or 4 feet, but still a good 3' deep at the centre.
