That really is scary......

"I'm the landlady of the Cove House Inn in Chiswell and we were hit by a session of massive waves last Wednesday. It was very, very scary - very rough. The waves must have been about 100ft high and came crashing through at about 10:30 in the morning. I got caught in an earlier wave and was washed down the slope to the road, there was no way anyone in their right mind would go out in that weather.

Downstairs wasn't too bad as we had shutters on the windows. But the waves penetrated the second and third floor windows and flooded the bedrooms, with water pouring through the ceilings into the pub."

Can't help thinking Point Break though.

Considering the wave went through the third floor, what does the guy standing there on the right think is going to happen next?

I thought it looked fake, so checked on the BBC. Bit of a different story,

Jackie Breakspear, landlady of the Cove House Inn at Chiswell, said: "We had the police, coastguard and the Environment Agency here but we knew we were in trouble when the flood warning alarm went and everybody left, including the police, and left us to it.

"Watching everybody empty out of the car park - we knew we were on our own. We were warned that anybody left in the pub had to come upstairs.

"We knew it was going to be bad. The sea just came over, battering the shutters, water was pouring in, but no water actually came into the pub at all - so we were very lucky.

"It was an amazing experience - to watch it was fantastic."

The more I look at that the more I think sh*t angle or photoshop.

They do get pretty big shore break down there, but 100 foot is just laughable.

It looks a bit fake to me too.

Now this one is scary - check out the size of the "boulders"
