Shitting myself, not evacuating but have made precautions to protect the house and will stay upstairs.
Flood defenses here are quite good so fingers crossed. |

I've just been for a walk down Sunderland marina where the tide is the highest I've ever seen it, thankfully its slack water otherwise it would be causing a lot of damage to the nearby housing stock ,,,  |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
I am a bit worried about my lovely person in Scotland. As we ended things earlier this year I don't think I can call him to check he's safe. 
I just hope people heed the warnings and don't put themselves and others at risk. No doubt there will be some people going on about the weather forecasters scaremongering again and "it's not that bad" based on their own location. It's bad enough for people to have died and for others to lose their cars and see their homes damaged.

Seen a few comments about how people are panicking over nothing  I'd rather panic and prepare then sit and chill out while my house fills with water.
I'm not evacuating as I am in a lower risk area of town, slightly uphill from both the sea and the river, quite far from both. I have tried to secure the house and will be making sure I am safe upstairs with food and drink x |

Don't forget to move your valuables (like photos) upstairs too. Keep safe.

Big hugs. xxxx
Have they said when the risk is over? Round here the water generally hits a few hours later when it's come down from the hills. Chin up. x |

I'll be ok I'm sure, I have a 1st floor to live in if I need to.
Just walked to the river and it is quite high already but still has a good 6ft wall to breach and I'm uphill from there, police officers didn't seem to concerned about the area I am in x |

You should be okay, high tide is gone
Problem is the muppets driving down the streets too quickly and causing aves which are pushing water into the houses
Keep up on twitter and check out lincolnshire police who are tweeting great advice |

"Parkgate on the Wirral it's a little surreal seeing water actually on the road itself  "
Over here the rivers are normally above the road
Freaks you out when you look up and you see a ship!
No flooding here, even though we are beneath sea level we have 300 years of serious flodd defences, dedicated flood planes and the biggest pumping houses you have ever seen. It's you people above sea level we worry about |

Just been down to the river, high tide at the moment but about 18 inches before it breeches here.
Seafront has gone, as have areas further down the river. Gorleston is flooded too.
Looks like a fairly lucky escape x |

Living just down the road from the evacuation centre in Sandwich I'm guessing I will be ok as far as the flooding goes although the local primary school will be shut tomorrow just in case. Fingers crossed that the surge due in at 1am and the other due in again in the afternoon tomorrow doesnt cause as much damage as people are preparing for.
Stay safe folks. |
