LOWESTOFT 'CUT OFF'2319:

BBC Radio Suffolk reporter Guy Campbell says flood water in Lowestoft has left some people "effectively cut off".

"Where the new Joseph Conrad pub is is completely flooded - no-one can go there at all," he said. "The water is streaming up the High Street.

"With the Oulton Broad bridge and the Bascule Bridge closed, this northern part of Lowestoft is effectively cut off.

"The only way out is through Haddiscoe, but we think that's probably flooded as well.

"I've never seen scenes like this in Lowestoft."

Tide has peaked at Lowestoft now. Dropping again.

That's ok just wanted to highlight to people in case anyone reading was in affected area as we seem to have been left in the dark by the media.

FAR FROM OVER'2347:

Geoff Brighty, of the Environment Agency, tells BBC Look East the storm is "far from over".

"We will see the surge go along the coast into Essex over the next three or four hours," he says.

[Icebox]

Flooding in Ipswich now.... primarily around the dock areas.

[Boro Snow]

In Essex, the 2,500 householders in Jaywick were being asked to sign a declaration by police if they decided not to leave their homes.

GO ON, SOMEBODY PRESS THAT BARRIER "OPEN" BUTTON.........

[AtlanticFlamethrower]

don't expect flooding in most of the town here. flood defences either improved or built since 1953.

 

however, southern part of the town it's a case of, in the summer months there is a river at the bottom of my garden, but in the winter months there is my garden at the bottom of the river. 

 

hope it's nothing too serious there.

Good to take extra precaution but cant see flooding around certain places of Medway. I wouldn't evacuate if I lived in those places. My friends who live on st mary's island aren't leaving. I'm more concerned about east anglia/ essex coasts and portsmouth . Take care peeps xx

Don't forget Medway includes the Hoo peninsula.... and there is a lot of low lying/marshland around there.

Trust me I used to live out on Grain...... for my sins!

Could be problems with power

Not a case of if, but when Sizewell goes 'offline' its more than likely to put additional loads onto the grid in the East.

Cllr Mark Springett â€@MarkSpringett3m

River in South Woodham Ferrers 5mm from flooding

 

don't know where they take that measurement.
