Default The Aftermath

Of the Exmouth storms .
This just a very small section on the promenade. It is like it all the way along the sea front and the sand is now being shoveled up.The sand reached right across the road. Just behind the seats was a beautiful lawn, you can see a few flowers in the front left corners The sea front was closed off during the storms .
The actual beach is 6 feet below

Yes there are excavators and men with shovels all along the sea front , there are mounds like duns in some places. they really need a much higher sea wall.
The lawn you see just behind the seats ,is totally ruined and that is just one of them.
