Have just heard on the news this evening that there is a threat of flood waters down the east coast....Hope everyone in that area stays safe. Will be thinking about you

[Janty]

Thanks. We are ok now. After 3 floods in my last house, we bought our latest on top of a hill. My poor Dad still lives on our old road so he's preparing for the worst. Fingers crossed for a dryer than expected night.

Fingers crossed that it will be a false alarm.

having looked at the maps we're closer to the danger areas than we thought but should be ok

 

If anyone in Norfolk finds themselves needing to get out quickly you're welcome here even if its just to recover before moving onto stay with family

I hope all is well over there? - I believe about now is going to be the worst time?

 

Keep safe.

Hope that everyone is ok

I heard on the news that they evacuated some of Great Yarmouth as a precaution Luckily my folks place is 3.5 miles inland. Wells, Blakeney and Cley are up the coast from us and very flat, with dykes to keep the sea out and salt flats behind them - that area always gets flooded

 

I hope that Richard is OK - he's right on the coast and has a boat too - so it could be tricky for him

They are saying that they have competly closed off all roads to Yarmouth today. How bad is it turning out to be?

 

We have clear blue skys in Norwich today, windy though. My otherhalfs dad works off shore, and departs from Lowestoft, I bet hes having a fun time right now. Where are their maps of the danger areas bonze?

Listen to the radio this morning, the warning seems to be down most of the east coast, as the tidal surge is beign squeezed by the narrowness of the north sea along that area. germany and other places 'over there' are affected too and have flood defences in place.

 

I'll have a look at the BBc site and see what's going on.

[The Dogmother]

Ok, just had a peek at the Beeb - looks like the worst has passed and wasn't as bad as was feared.

 

Here's a picture of the sea breaching the wall at Walcott

 

To be honest - I've seen it worse at Walcott - I'd never live there - it floods most spring tides and gets the worst of the storms.

 

Here's an article:

Seems like normal winter flooding to me. It happens a lot in the areas that have been affected. People seemt o be safe now just fingers crossed the inlaws boats is watertight otherwise its no holiday for us next year

[The Dogmother]

Where's it moored Bron?

[bronze]

Yarmouth but on the waterways as opposed to sea

[The Dogmother]

Hmmm, they did say that the tidal waterways on the Bure etc were affected - I hope it's OK
