Flooding/Tidal Surge

[MatthewL]

To those living along the east coast particularly East Yorkshire past the Humber into Lincolnshire and down to Norfolk/Essex area I hope the high tide in the morning doesn't bring any trouble with it.

 

Those that live in the affected area, listen to advise and if you are asked to evacuate don't ignore it.

 

A large number of Fire & Rescue resources (flood rescue and high volume pumping units) have been sent into the areas this evening as well as Army personnel to assist in Lincolnshire so they are as prepared as can be with the mobilisation of more resources at 0400. I'm on standby with a group I volunteer for for extra resource but lets hope things don't get that bad.

 

Keep an eye on social media and the local media for an updates in your areas also the gov.uk flood website: https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/

 

Also if your out in the car and come across any flooding follow any advise here.

 

Same again tomorrow tea time with another high tide and possible more over the weekend.

The news about Jaywick isnt good for the local residents. I have been there when we were in the area (am from Essex anyway) the people living there are low income. The chances of their accomodation being insured is probably low. Fingers crossed nothing bad happens, the clock is ticking till high tide at mid day.

We have been lucky on east coast, high tide was at 0600. Biggest problem would have been the wind but it never came. See what 1800 high tide brings, hopefully it will be nothing.
