WORLD WEATHER THREAD

Victoria Dock, Hull.

So, yes. That IS the River Humber.

 

[DJMK4]

The worst is to come later

 

[physichull]

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...

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

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

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:

Odeon Cinema car park:

A lot of cinemas and retail parks are built on flood plains just because nothing else can be built there.

Been in a traffic jam for the last hour on a63 in hull, can't get anywhere because of all the closed roads.

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.

Probably a good thing, was some close shaves at Bristol and Birmingham airports by all accounts.

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.

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

 

[Neil79]

Storm surge has hit kent, BIG waves, water as high as the Pier

 

[Cosimo]

Bet people aboard this flight enjoyed themselves....

No enjoyment here....

Four of the houses in hemsby were washed into the sea due to the sand bank eroding and three more are at serious risk of suffering the same fate tomorrow. video in article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-25254808
