- Join me as I venture onto Blackpool Promenade to bring you all the action as Storm Bella hits the Fylde Coast on Boxing Day 2020. We escaped the worst of the winds, but as you can see in the video, the storm was causing some damage.
I have quite a history of capturing Blackpool storms www.rmets.org/...

Just a gentle breeze coming off the Irish Sea
That’s probably what the TV weather report would have said years ago 🤦🏼♂️
I'll be there from now on,litter in tow.
Make more good Videos. Happy New Year. Give me please a mention on the next vid . Your Hamburger boy😘😘😘
I moved from Preston to Bulgaria 15 years ago and in all my 76 years i have never seen it looking so quiet its the first time i have seen your videos and i enjoyed both of them thank you for going to the trouble of posting them
Brilliant upload mate 👍👍👍👍
Ta pal. I do really well with these storm vids.
Fair play to you Stephen, great to see Blackpool in the storm, you've a heart like a Lion 🌧️☔🌊🌬️👍🏻
Well done that man - a true walk on the windy side !
It's very sad to see Blackpool so deserted. Thanks for showing us around.
Hi Stephen,
I really enjoyed the video yesterday! Your doing something right to have over 75,000 views in 24 hours!
I can’t wait to see what the storm was like later on in the evening.
Thanks for braving the Storm to get this vid mate.
All the Best Thomas.
Thanks Thomas. I'm blown away lol ;-)

I appreciate
Great video. The sea looks amazing. Great to see it at night 😀 hope you had a nice cuppa tea after x
I did, thank you x
Something wild and magical about a stormy sea on a dark night.Thanks for braving the elements.💨🌨🌝
Oooo my days that's mother nature showing us all her capabilities and what a spectacular show bless you for filming this for us to see,blessings to you and family
Great video , thanks for the coverage 👍
Epic stuff never underestimate the force of mother nature. Thanks for going out in all weather's to bring us these great videos.
It’s been worse in years gone by. The Irish Sea can be real ruff. Brought down our pier in morecambe on such a night years ago. I live in sunny California now but I miss the changing of the season’s . We had a sunny Christmas still feel’s strange after 35 years living here.
thank you for showing us the sights and sounds of Blackpool Ive never visited
Bella took part of my fence down but tower still standing so that OK. Great video again.
Snow to follow later on in the wk seemingly up to 13 inches. Winds recorded up to 106 last night in certain parts. Take care from also very wet and windy Scotland.
Well done 👍 thank you for going out in that dreadful weather to share that video with us, i was up there in September stayed at Big Blue.
What a Trooper, love your work!
Hats off to you, filming in that weather. Wild indeed 👍
Love your vlogs, Merry Christmas x
Another great video sir. That certainly would blow a few cobwebs out! I hope you got home safely. I can see the subscribers and views going up all the time. Keep up the good work.
600 in 24 hours. Amazing!!!
Well deserved sir!
Great as always buddy, thanks for taking the time to do these, can’t wait to get back there and see my mum 👏👏
Thanks for braving the elements and bringing us another great video, you are a first class entertainer and you're work is appreciated thank you.👍
Well done Steven, brilliant video as always, take care 😊
Thanks Dawn.
Well done Stephen a great little video, you caught the storm perfectly, great footage. You can't beat a good storm with the rain and wind in your face and the sea crashing to the shore it makes you feel so alive. The illuminations are so much better as well in this kind of weather. Keep up the brilliant work.
Now that was a walk on the wild side 🤣
I love a good storm thank you for this x
That certainly was: 'A walk on the wild side' ..well done 😀
Thanks Stephen this was really good. But please take care, some of these gusts could have swept you out! Please stay safe , I like your vids from a genuine Lancashire lad!
Thanks Andy. I am used to going out in very bad weather. I didn't got near the sea wall at least.
Loved the video amazing!!! Thanx love this channel keep them coming. Cheers.
Illuminations dancing around as they always do in these gales. At 02:15 it looked like Sooty and his wand was actually on the tower 🌬 💨 🌧
That’s why it’s called a walk on the wild side !
great video showing the true picture of a Blackpool storm better than national tv reports Like your videos well edited and not boring full of local information thanks
Wow your Weather Photographer of the Year 2018: 'Electric Blackpool' photograph is absolutely epic Stephen. Congrats on the win with the Royal Meterological Society and awesome capture! I love the fork lightening and I remember a similar photo of fork lightening being captured over the London Thames in 2016 too. You sure are a Storm professional. Keep warm and safe though!
I enjoyed the Storm Bella updates eps where I watched the movie Eclipse on Christmas Day eve with it's main character called Bella and then woke up on Boxing Day to news of Storm Bella.
Thank you Sharon. I'll never beat that photo.
Hi Stephen thank you for another great video as always omg that storms crazy dread to think what damage its going to cause xx
I think we escaped the worst of Storm Bella.
A walk on the wet and windy side , merry Christmas and a happy new year

Well done for giving us another fantastic video Stephen, you are very brave to be out in the storm. Go home and have a nice hot cuppa! Xxxx
Thanks Jean. Believe it or not but I was sweating a bit doing the video. I was not cold at all.
Hi to you Stephen from Stoke-onTrent,
Love your videos, adore Blackpool and really love your relaxed and unassuming presentation style.
Keep it up and all the best for 2021. Cheers Geoff
Thank you Geoffrey. That means a lot.
Wow that really was a walk on the wild side. Thanks for sharing 👍
Wow great video Stephen 👍 loving the tower in those colours..!!
I was in Blackpool in September 1976 to see the illuminations then. The sea was wild and I still have so.e photos of it. When I said to a local that the sea was rough it was coming over the promenade he said it's not rough until it goes over the promenade across the road hits Woolworths windows and goes back to the sea. Good luck there and the illuminations are beautiful. Oh and I dropped a penny a tram run over it I have it some where bent at 90° lol
That penny might be worth a bit with the story to it!
Tad windy there Mr C take care fella awesome video as usual sir .
I was there myself last night it was really bad i was driving on the front and i also couldn't believe that there was shops open on the front to . There was a big black bin in the middle of the road when I drove down the front . . Keep up the good work love watching your videos 👍👍
Those bins act like Daleks in the wind lol.
Hi we are at blackpool few times a year my self and hubby .we stay at imperial hotel.and once at the now called cload nine (what a dump ). Missed the lights this year . Take care all the best for 2021 ann and dave

We missed the worst it alright.
Thank you for the video quite dramatic rather you than me 😅
Thank you Jean. Glad I could bring the action to you risk free.
This is why I love your videos Excellent footage.

Beautiful illuminations but I wouldn't have ventured out in the storm to see them. Lovely video though thank you x
Sure takes dedication to do this video steven, rather you than me though. Your a great lad for doing it. Cheet's mate👍🤛
Thank you for another brilliant video.

It’s a very wild walk on the wild side tonight Stephen 💨👍
Living up to my name!
Really enjoyed that thanks for doing that for us on a rotten night
Great video mate very clear camera work once again
Thanks James. I always make an effort to make something more viewable. Keeping the wind noise down was the biggest challenge here.
Great video as always stay safe and happy 2021 👍
That was brave well done can't wait for the next one
What a lovely breath of fresh air. Enjoyed your clip.
Good Video thanks. Greetings from Hamburg Germany
Anabatic winds from the Irish Sea....let the games begin !
Great foorage matey :) Nice to see the NHS tribute too :)
Rather you than me, another great video from Stephen aka Mr Blackpool
Storm Bella was bad. I was just leaving my mate's In Blackpool, heading for Preston. Had to turn round and I stayed with my mate another night. Lol. 😊
There's nothing more English than standing in a bus shelter in the dead of night. Kind of waiting for a bus that never comes
Brilliant stuff keep them coming looking forward to the next one one 💯💯💯
Haha you were holding on a Bit there my friend .loved that .my Daughter wouldn't even go to the Local Shop in Bispham haha Brave man Happy New year to you take care thanks
We've always had storms and never needed to name them it's a sign of the times
I live in the east of England and yes we did have the storm but it wasn’t as powerfull from where were from... Although we did get 30 mph winds and heavy rain from time to time...
Seagulls too scared to go in the water chickens lol
I'd like to see you do Southport when Tier restrictions allow. I was in Lord Street when there was a heatwave and it was honestly like being in Paris (until I moved in to another street :) Of course, some say Paris' Baron Hausmann redesign was actually based on Southport (no lie) as one of the Napoleons visited there beforehand. It's not close to Blackpool entertainment-wise but maybe worth a video
Shivering watching this one!🥶
I wasn't cold believe it or not!
well mate rather you than me when its to windy i venture to walk round stanley park its quieter there go back to front when its calmed down till then walk round the area between main gates and the model village good seeing it bad but dog does not like it when its realy bad on front anyway stay safe my friend...
Must be freezing. It would be amazing to be up the tower. I used to go across the North sea and there were times when it was rough, really rough, a huge ferry going beneath the waves, and up again. Amazing experience, though most, if not all passengers we frightened, terrified.
Just wanted to say thank u luvly video xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx
Gosh its wildthàt homeless man bet he is frozen well Stephen great video keep them coming look forward to the next video take.care from Mary and jeff short from denton manchester
See you next time stay safe
Bella is here to celebrate the end of 2020 with us 😇😇😇
Haha I get it
great video
Thank you....
It's been nice here today Andrea
Yesterday was windy here all day from Andrea
Storm in a tea cup
It can’t be right to see homeless people on the streets this time of year surely you have a ymca or Salvation Army where they could go
There are a few homeless charities that make sure nobody should be on the streets. Sometimes it depends whether the person wants to be helped. Some don't.
Blackpool is an absolute shit-hole these days. Hope they revive it once again. Had some fantastic times there. And made some great memories.
Love this place it's great
Steve you must be freezing there? Good work my son. 👍
Believe it or not I was sweating filming this!
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool haha must be all that walking aswell.
Brave man out in this
Definitely walking on the wild side !
Anywhere else....Major Storm, don’t go out. Danger to life.
Anywhere in the North.....Might need to pop my coat on. Bit rough out there.
If the shelter is rattling mate I wouldn't think it was very safe.
