Incredible moment a giant wave swells up and engulfs an entire Cornish hillside

This is the incredible moment a huge wave engulfed an entire Cornish cliff face as Storm Imogen lashed Britain with hurricane-force winds today.

Dramatic photos show giant waves lashing the coast of Sennen, near Land's End, as experts warned conditions at sea reached 'phenomenal' states. Waves measuring up to 63ft were recorded off the Cornish coast at St Ives, while a height of 44.2ft was observed off the coast of the Isles of Scilly.

It came as Britain's ninth named storm battered the south of England, leaving the transport network in chaos and around 13,000 homes without power. Schools had to be closed, major roads and bridges shut and ferry services cancelled as winds of up to 100mph battered the coast of Britain.
