HW Brightlingsea 14:40, 5.2m plus the surge - it should just about top the prom at the Sailing Club. Fortunately the wind should be in the NW by then so no waves driving it over.
And a further sign of things to come.Thats a cracking pix..............................................and fortunately on this occasion no recent heavy rain and floodwater coming down to meet it.

Didn't take long for the MMGW warriors to get going!
On the Orwell the inshore lifeboat stormed up the river to the "strand" just below the bridge at lunch time.
Cars stuck. We had the surge which started to leave but then the tide returned a1/2 hour later. I don't know what they were expected to do because with the bank along side the road it would be to shallow unless they waded in. They didn't hang around long..
Are it all becomes clear, I spotted the cars queuing from way down river couldn't make anything else out or I'd have gone and helped.
