Victoria Dock, Hull.

So, yes. That IS the River Humber. :(

Apparently Victoria Dock has been completely evacuated and sections of the A63 are completely under water.

Not good at all :( said on radio the tidal protection barrier in Hull, one side of it is at least 6ft higher, keeping back sea water from 25,000 homes.

River Tyne is overflowing in quite a few places but more worryingly the North Sea is starting to creep towards my front door...
 
:eek:

Yikes! This is Kingston Retail Park in Hull....:eek:

So my guess is Albert Dock and the marina are overflowing right now. This is looking extremely bad.

I'm also seeing a video from a mate where there is water flowing about a foot deep across the A63 between St Andrews Quay and Smith & Nephew:

I think the west coast is going to avoid the flooding. I'm quite lucky in where I live. My town kinda slopes upwards the further from the sea you go. And I'm at the opposite side of town from the waterline, so for my house to be flooded, pretty much the entire town would need to be completely covered in water, like above the roofs.
 
Im stuck in Norway. Wind is insane and the crosswinds were too strong for take off. Hopefully get home tomorrow evening.
 
Looks like my carpark is about to be completely flooded all the cars have been moved if the underground park floods then the ground floor(me) flats will all flood next.

Picture taken in Boston, just off West Street...quite a distance from the river!

I am a fellow bostonian myself. I went home from work on a half night. Couldn't believe my eyes when I got home or the amount of emergency traffic. Luckily for me I live on the outskirts and was bone dry but took a walk with the dog to the center and was a mess. Buses all at Asda taking people to the sports complex near us. My mother sold her house not far from that picture around a year ago to emigrate. Wonder what happened to it.
 
Were all good in grimsby until 8am when we expect a large tidal surge which may be worse than what we experienced tonight. I expect to be woken at 7am by the flood sirens going absolutely mental again
