Chesil Beach, Portland suffers its greatest storm for 35 years. It is frightening, dramatic and spectacular, but the 50-year-old sea wall and the flood defences kept Chiswell from being deluged. Filmed by Stuart Morris. Gigantic waves overtop the world-famous beach, inundating the Beach Road and cutting the Island off from the mainland. As seen on BBC TV. Once again Chesil proves its worth as a great naturally protective storm beach. Neither the beach nor the defences were breached. The old village of Chiswell is still intact. Grandes olas de tormenta. Grandes vagues de tempête.
