Beloved Beach Huts Washed Out to Sea as Storm Ellen Hits Southwest England

Storm Ellen wreaked havoc in Devon, on the southwest coast of England, on August 21, bringing intense winds and high tides that washed the iconic Woolacombe beach huts out to sea. Local resident Richard Walden shot video of the white huts with brightly colored doors being swept into the surf against a gray sky. "Around 20 beach huts positioned well above the high tide mark have been either dislodged or in some cases smashed to pieces by the waves," Walden told Storyful. The Met Office issued a yellow https://twitter.com/metofficeSWEng/status/1296026255695835136 wind warning for southwest England on August 21, with 70 mph gusts https://twitter.com/RNLI/status/1296748080826650624 expected.
