Huge waves wash over as Kathleen batters Britain [NSTTV]

LONDON: Huge waves were recorded at various coastal areas in the United Kingdom as Storm Kathleen made its way through the country.

In the first video, motorists were hit by huge waves in Douglas, Isle of Man, on Sunday (April 7).

Eyewitness video from the capital of the British Crown dependency showed traffic on the Douglas Promenade coastal road caught in the overtopping waves.

More waves were expected on Sunday night, with the island's Met Office issuing a yellow weather warning for overtopping waves around parts of the island's coast.

A second yellow warning for heavy rain and localised flooding was also in place for Monday and Tuesday.

In the second video, rapid, giant waves could also be seen in River Mersey, Liverpool, England on Sunday (April 7).

But a brave jogger didn't seem to mind as he ran along the turbulent seafront.

The third is an eyewitness video from Cornwall on Saturday (April 6), showing waves crashing on the shore in Porthleven.

Thousands of homes in neighbouring Ireland were left without power and the storm also disrupted flights in both countries. — REUTERS
