- Severe flood warnings subside as Britain slowly returns to normal
- Temperatures warm up in England, with highs of 10C
- 55 feared dead after storms in Europe, with 45 killed in France
This is the moment two thrill-seeking surfers escaped a freak 30ft wave as it smashed into the shore.
The two men were caught on camera as they stood on a promenade and spent several minutes dodging waves as they battered the habour wall.
But one large 30ft breaker crashed over their heads and the pair were nearly dragged into the sea at Porthleven in Cornwall.
Amazingly, both were unhurt and managed to scurry away to safety following the incident yesterday afternoon.
The terrifying stunt has prompted coastguards to issue a warning as Britain is lashed by gales and massive sea swells.
