Well - this has come as a bit of a shock... New brighton on the wirral is currently under water by about 1-2 metres from the photos im being sent.
Crazy weather, as this isnt particularly low lying area (though it does face the wind)

I have a picture of Morrisons in NB flooded. Water looks to cime up as far as windscreens on cars and HGV lorries doors. Ive never seen anything like it for our neck of the woods.
CAnt uplocad the picture due to being on a works PC.
These are areas with a hugh sea wall and new sea defences....really dread to think whats going to hit real low lying areas like Norfolk and suffolk.
Thames barrier will be raised later no doubt.
