Flood warnings as well!

[Cobra]

Looking at that I am assuming their car park is flooded.

I shall pass on the link thank you.

I think there is a fighting chance that the car park will be a bit soggy! Looking at the tide height it has got to be above the floor of the car park. I guess it depends on how effective the non return flaps on the storm drains are!

I'm on board at RH! By the look of things if the tidal height goes above 6m then we may well be in trouble.

Dinghy park wise, the water is as currently as far as the crane.

Looks like it will just go over 6m...hope all goes ok at the club marina.

The roads around Holbrook were very busy for some reason

Looks like it will just go over 6m...hope all goes ok at the club marina.

Fingers crossed.

I am getting updates at work, predictions for the Orwell and Stour are not good. No firm heights, but I am now worried about the boat. ( Pontoon at Fox's.) (any news Roger?)
Manningtree could potentially be hit badly. Just waiting for the call outs to start.
I would check your travel plans and cancel, if they include Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex Coastal tomorrow.

Having just looked at the water level here in Mersea, I would also guess just over 6 metres - In which case I am just OK - 6.2 and my house will get flooded

Do you mean the Ajax crane? That is a long way!!

Harwich gauge shows that the surge is dropping back quite quickly now, at 23-00 it was 2.37, now only 1.92, so with luck the surge will drop as fast as tide rises in the next 90 mins, so total height may not change much, the total height is also showing a dip so perhaps it has peaked?

Any news on what's happening in Woodbridge. Our boat is on the pontoons at Tidemill and it the water looked high half an hour ago and now the webcam has gone off line.

Appears to be dropping at Harwich. 5.4m peak now 5.3m with surge dropping. Might be ok at Shotley with piles at 5.6m.

it's down by .3 here now

The water level has noticeably dropped here, hopefully the worst has now passed.

Ipswich Quay has gone over the wall, and is now flooding in to all of the car park areas down there, where the octopus is.

There is a reason there aren't residential units on any of the ground floors on Ipswich water front....

There are still cars in all the car parks though.... well done to whoever owns those, some are backed up to the wall where the waters coming over.

Foxs all good and water receding. Big up to the workforce for moving nearly all of the boats from the 'meadow'. There sre numerous boat owners owing them a beer or three for their efforts. Thanks go to those who arranged for the piles to have additional pieces welded on. Not needed in the end but massive peace of mind. Actually thanks to everyone who turned out tonight to help.
