Thursday 5th December saw a major storm passing over Northern England and Scotland, Crosby was on the edge of the amber wind warning but still experienced wind speeds of 70mph. The high winds coincided with an extremely high tide at 12.30 which lead to flooding along many parts of the coast as the winds pushed the waters even higher than usual. The promenade at Crosby beach was completely awash and the RNLI Portakabin near Hall Road Coastguard station was wrecked by the high seas.
Somewhere out there are the iron men, submerged under the rough seas.
Ah! There's one of them, his head a black dot emerging at times above the waves.
A few people braved the conditions for a bracing walk in the wind and spray
but it was not a day for sitting in the sun.
Several low lying areas in the sand dunes adjacent to the promenade were awash with sea water.
