North Wales is relatively safe, with the exception of Rhyl. Is that supposed to make us stop driving?

The blues is just right after the clock change weekend.

Is it just me or is that flood map incredibly difficult to pinpoint on where you want? I managed it, eventually, but by trial and error.

Cambridge disappears at 14m. But we're fine, so I'm buying a 4WD and giving up recycling

Oh dear - should never have moved south of the river as my house disappears at 7m. Although as my job disappears at 10m perhaps that's the least of my worries...

I'm only a couple of hundred yards from the coast, but YAY! for cliffs!

Anything above 13m and I'm living on the island of Wyke Regis, mind you.

My home and work will be safe but the route between the two will be impassable after 10m. Such a shame (provided I am home before the water rises).

DG - Have you read Flood by Richard Doyle? I am reading it at the moment and it is about freak weather causing extra high tides which will threaten the Thames barrier. Judging by the title of the book I am assuming that the water goes over the barrier otherwise it would be called Almost Flood. besides something has to happen in the next 400 pages.

Essexgirl: I reviewed Flood a few years ago...

Well, we're still fine at 14m depsite much of the surrounding land within a mile disappeering... are these high or low or mean tide levels I wonder?

Not all that bad. 2m will do for Canvey.

Thanks for the link to that map. I've been wondering whether where I am now was still at risk (fortunately I'm OK to 14m though there's a damp patch at the bottom of the road).

Before getting kicked out of Docklands where I lived was in the flood zone - I reckoned if the river came over the lip of the saucer the water was liable to come half-way up the flat underneath me. I used to wonder how I'd deal with the surge of matter coming up through the loo.

One very wet and windy night before the Barrier was finished some damp got in the electrics and the alarm sirens went off. I ran plenty of clean water as a precaution but it was a false alarm.

The Isle of Dogs is still a saucer ready to fill up if there's a North Sea surge the Barrier can't cope with but now there's an awful lot more housing as well as all the offices to be affected.
