This is the shocking moment when two beach huts with a value of £ 40,000 each were washed away in the sea by huge waves that were hunted by Storm Herminia.
The huts at Hordle Cliff in Milford-on-Sea, Hampshire, were part of a group of sixteen wooden huts that were hard to endure on Sunday from the wild sea.
The destruction came in after the last storm on Sunday night with gusts of wind up to 120 km per hour and five centimeters of rain, due to the chaos caused by Storm Eowyn.
It first stormed in southwestern England and Wales before it went to Northern Ireland and Northern England and reached Scotland on Sunday evening.
Dramatic photos and videos show the waves that break through the seawall that stands between the huts, worth £ 640,000, and The Solent.
The wave of water destroyed one hut, with the rubble, including the rubber boat of a child, wiped out. Another was reversed and swung around in the surf.
The waves have overflowed the others, so that they were washed away dangerously close.
A member of the audience, possibly an owner of a beach hut, tried to approach the huts, but had to hide for the waves.

The coastline stretch has been 'abandoned' in a controversial way by the city council and left to the elements.
The New Forest District Council has adopted a 'doing nothing' policy against Kusterosia in that area, rather than paying to strengthen the seawall.
Last year, seventeen huts were written off in the neighborhood after the vulnerable bank on which they stood was washed away by winter storms.
And today the helpless owners of another sixteen huts will have no choice but to let nature take its course.
The New Forest District Council has been approached for comment.
But a spokesperson for the municipality has previously stated: 'The municipality has no legal obligation to undertake and implement risk management measures against floods and Kusterosion in any coastal area.
'However, we have all the sympathy for beach hute owners who have experienced the consequences in this very challenging coastal area.
'Our advice to everyone who owns or buys a beach hut on or close to the coast is that he or she has to consider the risk and have to take a due diligence examination before he or she invests in a purchase.

'Since there are no defenses present at this location, the municipality has not undertaken any activities there to control the risk of flooding and resistant risks.

“The coastline management policy for this front has been established as” managed rescheduling, “whereby changes will continue to take place within this non-defined part.”
