Title: Tidal surge

Doesn't look too good for Norfolk/Suffolk.

Listening to BBC Norfolk local radio on the web and they reckon it has the potential to be as bad as 1953.  :-/

Killed over 2000 people, at least this time there is more warning.

Apparently even the Thames barrier was closed twice in the last 24 hours as a precaution. About 7000 evacuated from their homes in the Great Yarmouth area too as the River Yare broke its banks. :o
