No beach to speak of at #Torcross following a series of Winter storms.

Can and will the A379 road be rebuilt?

Watching the ITN local and national news tonight I was put in mind of this song by @kaprekars.bsky.social #Torcross took another battering last night and the A379 #Dartmouth to #Kingsbridge road is severed at Slapton Sands.

Relentless.
More coastal flooding coming around tomorrow (Wednesday) morning's high tide.

Half of the road eroded - beyond the central white lines
Whole road gone and pary of the main car park
Video still of the damage being done
Sad to see these images from the A379, Slapton Sands. The road has been completely breached around the entrance to the #Torcross car park.

UPDATE 1040 #Torcross is really taking the brunt of #StormIngrid. Really sad to see houses on front damaged...some...road on Slapton line undermined but no doubt Council will investigate when safe. It is currently CLOSED.

The road at #Torcross is officially closed and the sea is roaring even at low tide. Definitely avoid as the tide is rising. The size of the rocks it has shifted is terrifying.

Recent storm waves have taken away the beach at #Torcross #SlaptonSands and today's breakers are hitting the sheet-steel pilings on the front of the sea wall.
