Andrew, you got some amazing footage here! Thank you for showing it to us. Good wellies were a huge must. Those poor shop owners. I hope they had good insurance.
I’m from Cape Town…we visited St Ives and stayed upstairs above a seaside pub…the name escapes me. What a delightful town…we were enchanted…I could easily live there…if I could afford it, with my Rands and cents!!! The whole area is stunning
From Cape Town. I once visit this beautifull town. The Waterfront I found amazing. Some highligths as Tafelberg and the beautifull botanical garden. You have so much in your surroundings. St Ives I have bin to, but can not compare with Cape town.
That's amazing footage Andrew. What a treat ~ thank you! I had no idea that the sea level ever reached those lower roadways/pedetrian routes at St Ives, but I now notice some of the shops have sliding storm/flood shutters protecting the lower part of their doors. I love the contrast of the powerful stormy sea with the brave little Turnstone in the foreground (at 3.52) that's busily darting & pecking around in the run-off water for any tiny morsels thrown up by the waves :)
Super high tides in St Ives happen regularly. We had been waiting for an excuse to film it and then the storm came as well! Makes you wonder if the businesses on the front even have insurance. Sarah :)
It is amazing the way you have recorded the sound of each individual wave, pounding against the seawall and trickling back, without everything getting blatted out by the sound of wind hitting your microphone. I found the effect to be soothing, which is silly of me, considering how dangerous that situation could actually be.
Wow!! Brilliant footage - you are really dedicated to bring us this interesting video - Another, this seems a silly statement, it seemed as though the elements was playing tricks on ‘Dear old St Ives’ it was such a gentle flooding - super to look at but lethal to businesses on the front. - I do wonder how much more rain and storms we are still to get before Winter is done with us here in Cornwall - I think this makes about 8 months of seeing rain at some point every day - 10/10 for bringing us another super video at this ungodly hour of before 6.00am this morning when most of us are tucked up in bed.
It will give the streets a good clean :) We had some huge waves coming over the walls here in Guernsey this morning. Going over the houses in some places.
@@emmajanereeves6434 I doubt the streets are that polluted and if they are then you have a big problem as that's heading into the sea with the rain over time regardless.
Hi Sarah and Andrew, my wife and I use the Aspect Holiday lets web cams to keep an eye on Cornwall. Unfortunately their web cam for St Ives has been off for a few days so your footage was much appreciated. See you on Friday keep up the good work.
Excellent video Sarah and Andrew.You always give us fantastic videos with 100% dedication.Quite scary scenes.Like a mini tsunami.One disadvantage of living in a coastal area.Thank you both very much for your bravery to film this extraordinary event.Take care always.👍
These images brought back some traumatic memories. I was once attacked while walking along that harbour front by a vicious gang of seagulls that stole my tray of chips. That was a sad day ☹
@@melgrant7404 It`s normal but I guess it would go up if it was flooded. It did flood further up the bank but not into the houses. Just the driveway`s. It is a Roman Canal so I hope they knew what they were doing lol.
Brave Andrew!! Great footage, which I enjoyed, though I hope the folks there don't suffer too much damage. This has been a year for crazy weather all around. California has had more rain than I can remember since the early 1980s. Storm surges paired with high tides here as well, leading to flooding all along our coastline, up into Oregon and Washington State. Yesterday the solar eclipse crossed the country from Texas to Maine; we saw about 70 percent coverage of the sun from here in So.Cal. I always feel such an affinity for your Cornish coast, though I do find myself expecting to see gents in long coats and tricorn hats from time to time, lol. Stay safe, and I hope your home is on higher ground. :)
Thank you Andrew for this great footage. Far away in my house I can say that. But I think how awful it is for the poor shop owners to see what the water has damaged. Take care, Gabi
Wow, that is a lot of water 😳 And really strange to see Smeaton's Pier almost submerged too... 😮 I guess the sand stretched far out at low tide. Thank you for this dramatic video ❤
1991 I lived with my gf right on the coast, just like that but the ocean was violent, 10 ft swells and growing quickly, waves crashing onto the roof with hightide hours away, ended up taking the house out to sea, only the foundation left next morning. Perfect storm 1991 Marshfield, Mass. 🇺🇸
I didn’t realise I had missed this scary footage, same thing happened to us many years ago at ‘Appledore’ high tide trapped us in upstairs rooms for a while very frightening, I’m surprised they don’t have storm boards on their doors at least, being so close to the sea, thanks for covering these more frequent storms both of you, the sea is a most unpredictable beast, I know because I was rescued from drowning at Blackpool age fifteen, take care until next time 🤗
Wow…St.Yves..I love this Place but you would have to pay me money owning one of this Houses at the Harbour Front…😳Thanks for the footage from the Storm…❤
Abba said He will deal with sea coast. We used to purchase St Ives body wash remember. ? I saw it on the shelves at the big grocery Tom Thumb. I'm just asking
No ones doing the Lambeth walk then 😆 How did the gallery fair? It usually gets battered when high spring tide coincides with a storm! The winds last night were so loud in Falmouth I’m actually surprised that there aren’t more reports of damage apart from the cafe and beach huts at castle! Cornwall always gets it when the storms blow in from the sou’west.
It was filmed on Tuesday the 9th April at 6.15 am when the high tide was at 7.1 metres as Storm Pierrick had moved through during the night and early hours. Perhaps you arrived afterwards? 🤔 perhaps check your facts, or maybe ask a local before calling me a liar Andrew
I went on holiday to St. Ives back in 2018. Lovely place but had to wait about half an hour for a parking space so unfortunately just had to stay within walking distance. Got bored after 3 days and came home early. The weather was nicer than this though. Edit: 5:42 that's the house I stayed in, with the back area.
I remember the old Roman saying ''cave in Marchia Sancti ives'', 'Beware St Ives in March''. but i can't see why? Such a lovely place,anytime of year,albeit,a bit risky in wild weather such as this
If a storm is forecast, why don't the seafront businesses get their furniture or signage stacked away at least tied up where they don't get damaged. Ditto councils with the litter bins or skips.
Andrew, you got some amazing footage here! Thank you for showing it to us. Good wellies were a huge must. Those poor shop owners. I hope they had good insurance.
Did you see the guy with wet feet? 😂 Sarah :)

The brutish can’t stand anything foreign.
Except resources. They expect those for free.
You would soon miss the scorching sunny weather
Don't come back
Wow. Why so rude Gina? What's your problem ?

Great footage !! Thank you for filming, the sea is beautiful but furious , stay safe , Lori
St Ives man ❤️❤️❤️ my wife may have my wallet but this place has my heart. So lucky to live 20 minutes away.
We're going to St Ives in just under a fortnight. Let's hope it's calmed down by then. So magnificent to watch though! Thanks for filming it xx
I hope so too! Sarah :)

Thanks Andrew. Nice to watch it with no talking.
Glad you enjoyed it! Sarah :)
Unbelievable the weather is having all across the country Thank you for taking time to record for us xx stay safe
Wow bloody hell. We live in rural wales. Tree down saturday sunday and another again this morning. My poor bird table is like a ikea flat pack. Lol. ❤
Oh no! Who would think it’s April!?!? Sarah :)
What an ignorant response.
@@MsPinkwolf Please expand, why ignorant?
It will give the streets a good clean :) We had some huge waves coming over the walls here in Guernsey this morning. Going over the houses in some places.
Don't forget that it will flood the drains,so there will be sewage in that.
If it gives the streets a clean, then won't that pollute the ocean?
@@emmajanereeves6434 I doubt the streets are that polluted and if they are then you have a big problem as that's heading into the sea with the rain over time regardless.
Hi Andrew and Sarah. I hope your feet didn't get to wet. Brilliant camera work of the waves during the storm.
Thankyou Andrew for sharing this. 🥰🇬🇧

I think a lot of people use the webcams, we often have comments about them. Can’t beat the real thing though! Sarah :)

🤣🤣🤣
I bet you get ptsd every time you hear "I Ran" by Flock Of Seagulls.
I live next to a Canal and when that`s high the boats come past the front room window looking down on me watching tv. :)
Is your house insurance expensive living next to a canal.
@@melgrant7404 It`s normal but I guess it would go up if it was flooded. It did flood further up the bank but not into the houses. Just the driveway`s. It is a Roman Canal so I hope they knew what they were doing lol.
@@damianbutterworth2434 👍👍
when is this happen?
@@mjonsson9928 the floods this year in Lincolnshire.
Amazing camera 📸 work stunning 😊😊
So sorry for the home and business owners on the front.
Great video! Thank you for sharing ❤
Wow. You certainly captured the intensity of the high tide. We've seen it several times at Porthleven, but never St Ives like that.
Brave Andrew!! Great footage, which I enjoyed, though I hope the folks there don't suffer too much damage. This has been a year for crazy weather all around.

An eclipse is quite an experience! We had a partial eclipse here about 20 years ago, fascinating to see the birds going back to roost! Sarah :)
How beautiful! I think I’d much rather be there in the p***ing rain than here in Manchester in the p***ing rain.😢
Gangstalking
Wow thank you so much for the footage
Amazing video.. thanks for sharing it with us all❤ x
Omg ,thank you for showing us!The storm is heavy ,we hope everyone is ok there!!!💝
Thank you Andrew for this great footage. Far away in my house I can say that. But I think how awful it is for the poor shop owners to see what the water has damaged. Take care, Gabi
Totally agree, and at the start of the tourist season too! Devastating! Sarah :)
Wow, that is a lot of water 😳 And really strange to see Smeaton's Pier almost submerged too... 😮 I guess the sand stretched far out at low tide. Thank you for this dramatic video ❤
It’s good to see every single local out there. Genuinely those 10 people were probably it. All the second home owners were still in London
🤣🤣🤣

My heart and prayers goes out for all communities on the coast line areas. The birds, sea and land animals too.
Anything else?
@@jayaybe1and the fish.
@@ianrowley5762 😁.
You'll need your heart, and prayers are useless.
@@jayaybe1 👍😆🤣🤣🤣😂😉
How on earth do they keep the sea out of the lowers floors? very few sandbags I saw. Still a lovely village~
Outstanding video!
I was there many years ago. The sea is a force that should be respected.
Is that with a spring tide as well?
Yes! Super high spring tide, and a storm too, Sarah :)
No idea what country St Ives is in but interesting to see!
St Ives, an historic fishing village and holiday destination in Cornwall, the sticking-out part on the lower LH side of the map of the British Isles.😊
@cindycreateforlife ... It's in England, UK. In the South West of the country.
Cornwall England
Expected with an eclipse, planet alignment means strong gravitational pull, ergo high tides
Nice seaside though....I think I will go there this summer! 😊 Well at least it's cleaning the promenade!
lovely video, thanks for posting 🌻
Exellent footage 👍👌
Yeah was a bit windy yesterday.
Wow…St.Yves..I love this Place but you would have to pay me money owning one of this Houses at the Harbour Front…😳Thanks for the footage from the Storm…❤
Very dramatic. Thanks for being there to show us

Wow what a storm like and shared out in you tube community. ⌚
Thank you! An early start for this one! Sarah :)
Awesome no problem more than welcome stay safe 🙏 👍
How long before St. Ives will need a sea wall?
St Ives, a lovely place even in a storm. You’re very lucky if you live there
Unfortunately mostly holiday homes. Too expensive for the locals to buy!
No ones doing the Lambeth walk then 😆
How did the gallery fair? It usually gets battered when high spring tide coincides with a storm!

Sorry! This was NOT taken 4 days ago,I'm staying in St Ives in the Sloop Inn,I arrived on Tuesday morning?? 🤔

I am actually feeling anxious about all this now 😮 I hope south west water have the sense to not mention a hosepipe ban this year
Wow. Know the place very well .... I hope the damage is minimal 😢
Having seen the footage from Porthleven and the damage caused, I think St.Ives got away quite lightly
Yes, I saw some of that. The sea walls are decimated!
When the sun and the moon are in the same region of sky super tides apply.
I went on holiday to St. Ives back in 2018. Lovely place but had to wait about half an hour for a parking space so unfortunately just had to stay within walking distance. Got bored after 3 days and came home early. The weather was nicer than this though.
Edit: 5:42 that's the house I stayed in, with the back area.
1:44 Was that a wading bird (lapwing?) with a piece of greggs sausage roll? 😉
I think it was a turnstone. But there's no Greggs in St Ives 🤣
I live on the south coast, near Worthing. Littlehampton isn't far from me. It's said that the damage to the town amounts to at least £15.
How scaring - take good care of you both ❣️
Is the water at the top of the seawall or is than an illusion? I know the waves are going over, but is the level tide near the top of the seawall?
Yes.. it’s high spring tide!
Wow! Be safe everyone.
I remember the old Roman saying ''cave in Marchia Sancti ives'', 'Beware St Ives in March''. but i can't see why? Such a lovely place,anytime of year,albeit,a bit risky in wild weather such as this
What a beautiful place 🙂
Lived in st Ives as a child though house was up on a steep hill brings back memories hope all ok
O wow! Saw it's punched a hole in Porthleven Harbour wall 😮
It’s almost like the sea wall isn’t high enough.
You will never make it high enough…water is encroaching slowly and covering the land.
Was almost like this at the river seven almost went over the docks and the wall thing super dangerous
TAKE CARE ALL AND keep safe.
Thank you
No parking on the slipway, unless you have a James Bond Lotus Esprit!
Summer have arrived in Cornwall
Garfy gillard in oz.. sends safe love.. id be at the pub❤❤
Respect.. 🌊 respect. .. x
Prayers to all this has affected .
Thank goodness there were no strong winds pushing this onshore.
There were!!
Yeh spring has arrived in Blighty.
Poor St Ives! Some of those businesses are going to be in trouble!
We are going there in June we go every year ❤
I think I could sleep to the sound of those waves crashing.
Why are there no sandbags protecting something and no higher sea defences.
This is normal. Stop falling for the propaganda.
깨어 있어라. 도둑처럼 온다더니? 자연은 무서워요.너무 바다와 가깝게 건물이 있어요?
뚝이 너무 낮고 설계도 그렇고.물빠짐은 잘한것 같아요. 8층까지 잠기는 나라를 봤는데? 그후로 두려움이 생겼어요.
Storm????
3:29 Like it says...no parking on the slipway!!
How many fookin storms are we going to get? ..
I was all set to visit when covid hit. I guess it wasn't meant to be. At 77, it's still a dream.
Oh you must go. Book yourself into the Pednolva Olva for a couple of nights.
A far cry from when I was sitting on the beach!
IT'S LOVELY I AGREE.🤗
Ah! It was a new Supermoon. Hence the very high tide.
If a storm is forecast, why don't the seafront businesses get their furniture or signage stacked away at least tied up where they don't get damaged. Ditto councils with the litter bins or skips.
Looks a little risky to me… with tides getting higher so rapidly each year…
😮 wooo😮 like a beast taking over land
Calm wind and almost no waves. With the sun out, it will be a nice day.
I have never seen something like this before.
omg i hope everyone is ok x
Are you kidding ? Of course we’re ok. Stop falling for the climate change crock of 💩
That was just large swells nothing more . Could have been far worse .
Also the worst storm to hit the Uk was in 1953 .. and also affected Holland
Scary stuff! 😮
very high spring king tide, that done it....
❤️ St Ives
Have not seen it this bad before!
This is what you get with a Spring tide with a NW storm.
Omg, there is no protection for the businesses/buildings along there, not even sandbags!!!😮
