Stonehaven pounded by the Beast from the East storm of 2012

A short clip of the Beast from the East that battered Stonehaven in NE Scotland in the winter of 2012. The 42ft Stonehaven independent Maritime Rescue Institute (MRI) lifeboat is on a storm mooring into middle of outer harbour. The damage to the MRI boats was so severe that it led to the closure of the independent lifeboat service in the town and to RNLI subsequently opening a station to which I was appointed Lifeboat Operations Manager in 2013.
