Flooding expected tonight?

Nabber

With the high winds and high tide due at 5:40ish, just surprised no sand bags have been put down along the beaches.

They colsed of a few roads alnog the different strands a few months back in a similar situation. Would I be wrong in saying that some areas may be at risck to costal flooding?

It's not monster tide, 4.2 metres, the wind is offshore and the rivers aren't flooded. I don't think it will be that bad. Big winds though Nabber, gale force.

The wind has taken its first victim sadly.
