Here are a few before and after shots, to show the awesome power of the sea.
Kings Beach on a normal day.
Kings Beach last Sunday
Waves battering the sea wall at Sidon Street, behind Stuart Graham. This is not one of my pics but one that has been doing the rounds on the internet, so I cannot give acknowledgements to the photographer.
The aftermath. The building from the top picture can be seen in the top left.
The sea wall shot about a year ago. And I thought the waves were spectacular then.
The same area as it it is now
A tranquil scene taken from one of the popular fishing spots last year.
...... and the railway line heading towards the city
In one fluid movement the sea changed all that. I do not think the trains will be running any time soon.
It just goes to show that you cannot tame the sea and that bad town planning does not pay

awesome pics
and we have the audacity to moan about a bit of heavy rain here.
My goodness, those really were angry seas! Such a lot f devastation to repear not knowing if it will hold next time. Awesome.
It looks like the sea got her revenge! What power!
Incredible before and after shots. Nature reminding us who is really in charge. It is too easy to forget but look at the concrete just scattered and broken like litter.
Just dramatic waves... what a fury of the nature! The aftermath photo is awesome!
These are fantastic, especially that 3rd picture.
wow.. mother nature at its best.
