Flooding Alert


Recommended Posts

I know we have kindly been informed there is a flood alert, but here is a notification from the Broads Authority.

 

Dear all,

The Authority has been informed that Flood Alerts have been issued by the Environment Agency for the tidal Rivers Ant, Bure, Thurne, Waveney and Yare.

The alert is in place for following tidal Rivers:

  • Bure from Wroxham Bridge to Breydon Water,
  • Ant from Horning to Breydon Water,
  • Thurne from Hickling to Breydon Water,
  • Yare from Thorpe St Andrew to Breydon Water (highest levels expected around Brundall),
  • And Waveney from Ellingham to Breydon Water (highest levels expected around Beccles Quay).

This message has been issued because of steady rainfall over the Easter Bank Holiday, which is now making its way through the Broads system. High levels in the Broads may last for a few days until the freshwater river flows have filtered through. The Environment Agency are not currently expecting the situation to escalate. Levels are expected to peak between 12 noon and 4pm today, Wednesday 4 April. Standing water will be visible in floodplain areas, and riverside footpaths may be flooded. Do not take unnecessary risks.

Please check the link here for any updates in due course.

Kind regards,

Tom Waterfall

Dear all, 

Further to my email below, The Authority has been informed this morning that the Flood Alerts are no longer in place for any of the Tidal Rivers as water levels have dropped below threshold and no further significant rainfall is expected.

Kind regards,
Tom
