Indeed - one of those situations where seeing the words "it was a complete non-event" would be very welcome!

there's a severe flood warning out just a couple of hundred yards away from here. I can't imagine the seawater would find its way that far inland, but I suppose it depends on whether the defenses are breached. The sea wall looked so massive when I was four, but it's only about five feet above the top of the beach (which is where the sea reaches on exceptionally high tides). It's making me wonder now if that wall really could be breached, it always seemed so solid and impregnable.


Hopefully the words "complete non-event" will be all over the papers tomorrow, even if further north things don't look too good at the moment!

The bits under the flood alert are around 18 feet above sea level I believe.


Hopefully you won't need to come anywhere near here tonight!

Report on essex radio just said many old people dont want to leave home in Jaywick very die hard people but I think it would be much better to get out of there hoping police can change peoples mind getting very concerning for that part of essex.

Interesting to see the North Sea Camp, near Boston, is in the severe flood alert one: hopefully they've evacuated the prisoners to 24 hour sandbag duty inland?

If the sea overtops that wall then it would flood a lot of properties.

indeed because of its location it runs up a sand bank  and the sea back fills so you get like tires of extra layers of sea with several added depths of sea level back filling untill it decides to go over the top then it repeats and repeats very nasty for that part ive wind surft it many times but only in normal water.

I can't see a glossary or similar. I assume the highest astronomical level is that recorded at a high tide in 'normal' (non-storm) conditions?

yes many are just made from wood most are old holiday homes which we used to stay and have our holiday its a funny place in a sense because you would not want to be out late at night around there if you know what I mean its a tough place to live but having said that some really nice older people and friends who can also handle most things and have seen lots over the years as I said a die hard part of Essex hense most have said no to the police at the moment they dont get on.

If you look at what a dump Jaywick is (England's most deprived village), then as long as it is evacuated, it would probably be no bad thing if nature took it's course!

Just been standing on the shore line at sizewell and barely 90 minutes after low tide the tide mark is already well past an average high tide. The only saving grace is that because the wind is and has been so offshore there is an absence of rollers. This will be huge though.
