A shipping container used to store watersports equipment was washed out to sea as Storm Babet hit Devon.
The owner of a watersports business in Devon has said he has "lost everything" after a container he used to store equipment was washed out to sea during Storm Babet.
In a video posted on Wednesday 18 October, Mr White said: "Sadly, last night, we completely lost our business to the storm. One of our shipping containers — the watersports one — ended up in the ocean and the other one has been bashed like a washing machine. "We were down there in the morning, watching the forecast and two days before just feeling it and watching it all play out and we genuinely thought we were going to be ok, and we weren't," he said.
"South West Crane Hire came and lifted the coffee box up onto the pavement. They were so amazing, really compassionate," Mr White said. "We're just so grateful that they managed to stop that container from going into the water because that would've been a whole different ballgame."
