Token Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Anyone bothered?Met Office linkWas just watching on the news that like the fatal storm of 1953 that killed 2000 people measured 3.2m or whatever, forecasts are that this storm is going to measure 2.9mI guess if you live in the South/South East like me then you might want to bring the washing in.Severe gales in the North Sea have given rise to a significant storm surge. The Environment Agency have issued a number of Severe Flood Warnings. A Severe Flood Warning means that there is extreme danger to life and property and the public are urged to take immediate action by referring to the Environment Agency Floodline (0845 988 1188) and their website (www.environment-agency.gov.uk). Advice may also be available on radio and television. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Shit. My aunt literally lives on the edge of a cliff in Hythe. Hope she doesn't die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 This is more to do with the area where the channel narrows ie Thames estuary/Kent. In 1953 the storm surge was "funnelled" by the narrowing of the channel increasing its magnitude, the councils in the area have improved sea defences since then hopefully they will be sufficient to stop the rising sea level.

Token Posted November 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Okay well 1 person has got to atleast die. If nobody dies then thats fine, but I quite look forward to find out on the news that 'Joe Blogg slipped on a pavement and was swallowed by a basking shark'.
