First up, myself and my wife's favourite pub, the Vevay Inn, caught fire. It's believed that someone set fire to a wheelie bin at the back of the building, but there wasn't much the fire brigade could do other than keep the blaze from spreading. Pretty much all that's left are the outer walls:
We're really sorry to see the place go like this. We knew the staff well and liked them all. It's a really rough blow.
Later that same morning, the following happened down at the Bray beach:
That isn't fake. That's a small tornado drifting very close to the shore of the beach in Bray. Thankfully it died out before it touched down or caused any harm. Still though, that's pretty scary.
Anything else crazy happen this weekend?
IN water they're called water spouts :) We see them reasonably often in the North sea but it's usual to see one that close to land. Last one I remember you could see from land was early 90's though off fraserburgh coast. Was big news :D
ReplyDeleteAlso it's an excellent video.
DeleteAnd sucks about the pub :(
A dramatic weekend in Bray huh?
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the Vevay Inn - we've been there several times when we've been staying at the Ramada, they did good food there.
Glad the tornado didn't touch down in Bray - looked really weird.
EEK, so many darn tornadoes!!!!
