Video: If you thought the weather here was bad, look at what’s happening in Aberystwyth in Wales

The turbulent weather conditions show no sign of letting up on this side of the water and it seems as if it’s just as bad across the pond in Wales as well.

The turbulent weather conditions show no sign of letting up on this side of the water and it seems as if it’s just as bad across the pond in Wales as well.

Students staying in the sea front halls in the Welsh town, which has proven popular with Irish students over the years, have been advised to evacuate their residences due to high waves crashing against buildings close to the water, which caused a significant amount of damage over the weekend.

The video above (from Mail Online) shows the extent of the damage caused by the violent storms over the weekend, while although the one below was filmed a month ago in early December, as has been the case in numerous places over here in the last few days, it just goes to illustrate how frightening it can be in towns by the sea when the storms are at their worst.

Stay safe out there folks.
