Wind

[ChrisB]

Looks like we are in for a bit of a blow by morning with kick off @ 0300. Gale force along North Norfolk Coast and only slightly less on The Broads.

Social media is showing some pretty high Broadland tides today as well.  Earlier Reedham Ferry was closed and the height under Potter was put at 4' 10"

Full moon tonight

The Storm She has A Name.... Eleanor

The Horning sailing club web cam is NOT showing a quay heading... that means it's under water... saves washing the goose Carp off...

We had a real blow through the night here in NE . It’s still windy but the worst of it seems to have passed over now

[ChrisB]

Getting very strong in North Norfolk now.

[TheQ]

I need more sleep....

Well the problem of what to do with the recycling waste, now the Chinese won't take it, has been solved. It's all over the road, as most of the bins blew over, a real mess.

Well having taken an hour extra getting to work queuing for the tunnel, as they shut the right hand tunnel - 'in case they had to shut the bridge'

we finally got moving when they re-opened the right hand tunnel at 8am, after the queues on the M25 reached swanley, and the A2 was backed up solid almost to Rochester, once I got through the traffic was flowing nicely across the bridge southbound, with no queue whatsoever, so they shut one tunnel in the rush hour - for what? all they did was create huge delays northbound, while the flow southbound - even if they had shut the bridge would not have caused more than a 30 minute delay while they swapped over, and the traffic would have been flowing Northbound instead of causing a huge tailback.

Rant over.

Very blowy at Potter. The dinghy moored on the riverside was getting very thrown about so I dragged it out at 03:30!

Highest gust in Felixstowe was 50 mph at 04:00, now getting 25-30 NW. The Orwell bridge was shut about 22:00 last night, don't think it's re-opened yet.

Yep a pretty interesting night on a boat last night more rock you awake than rock you to sleep , still everything is still intact , just need the river to lower a bit ,  lord knows how I got into Norwich yesterday it was pretty close n I'm not that tall air draft wise and when I did get there it was only a few inch's off the top at riverside .

Oh well that's one storm there will be others not that this one  has gone just yet so take care out there folks .

Hi Ricardo,

It looks as if the river levels will be high for a day or two, please see the notification of flood warnings issues by the Broads Authority.

Regards

Why do folk leave their genoas on the firling gear over winter without a sheath over it? Still it is an ill wind! The sailmakers will do alright. Quite a lot of boats now open to the rain having lost their tarps and covers.
