(too many requests for the servers rather than nothing happening,
someone jumped in the water and was arrested, but you cant see it)


Will they survive in Suffolk and Essex?

So why is it necessary for a thread about something not happening ?

It's a tribute to all the East Coast anti flood devices, and the mass evacuations.

Look what happens in Wales when it floods

Because if it did happen and they did nothing, then the outrage would be massive.

As nothing happened, but they did something anyway (just incase) the outrage is at the Sand in Vagina level.

Wasnt it supposed to happen even if they did something though>

A piece of sea wall fell away in Scarborough

Hadnt most people realised the wind wasnt there last night so decided to stay in their houses

If the wind was up and the other factors theyd have been out

Why didnt the forecasters know there was no wind?

It's a bit risky to move into an area at high risk of flooding on the assumption that money will be spent on new flood defences.

If you know you have to move upstairs for a couple of weeks every few years, does it matter for a nice place next the sea/river?

Trouble is health and safety dictates that if youre flooded these days you have replace everything downstairs and strip all the plaster to a foot above flood height.

Previously youd have marked it with a crayon Jan2017 flood that didnt happen

There is (thank god) more to Norfolk than Great Yarmouth, and parts of Norfolk did get flooded by a tidal surge.

yes Cromer Pier was badly damaged and they're hoping to reopen it by the end of today
