  1. On the plus side it seems to have been shifted a bit north.

     

    However that doesn't chnge the fact it is still set to be extremely windy on Monday. Anywhere in the UK could see gusts of 50-60 mph.

    Then as the low gets closer to Scotland, winds look like they may gust to 90-100mph

    Holy moly!!

     

    Please don't tell me that's in mph?

  2. Old Leigh has some water coming up the drains but mostly escaped. A few properties have been flooded though. The sea wall has a few inches to spare.

     

    Them few inches to spare may well disappear at the next high tide!I wonder what the situation is between the stretch of c2c line between leigh and chalkwell right now :)

     

    Where abouts on the seafront was that picture taken by the way? I'm trying to picture it in my head

  3. The warnings all around me has been upgraded to severe - Hullbridge, Rochford, and the river Crouch. I'm gonna go for a drive down Southend in a minute to see the tide down there.... the girlfriend thinks I'm mad

     

    Have fun! Posted Image

     

    Wish I could go down there, would cost a fortune though!

    I'll be in college tomorrow and finish just before high tide, which is meant to be even higher tomorrow. I'll be down there taking pictures ! :)

  4. Relative to what exactly? I was under the impression the height of a high tide was measured from the height of the previous low tide. I didn't think it had any relationship to land based structures or altitude.

     

    I may be wrong ....................... HELP

    That's a very good question! haha

     

    I don't actually know how to answer that one, the site states a high tide of 6.2m, I just wanted to know how high that is in relation to the sea walls..

     

    Very helpful I know Posted Image

  5. evening all

     

    I did not expect Southend to get included in the flood warnings, this could make it interesting for C2C trains in the morning, especially the run between Leigh and Benfleet....

     

    I hope the folks on Canvey and Foulness Islands will be OK, worrying times

     

    Stay safe

    Traveling from Benfleet to Southend Central!
