It has been reported to me this morning that the moorings at Tingdene Marina (Brundall) that all the ramp walkways to the floating pontoons are now operating uphill and there is flooding getting down to the Marina.

Hmmm I may not be visiting the boat later after all!!!

[Baitrunner]

Apparently ting dene is closed due to severe flooding. No idea when it will open. 

[grendel]

I wonder if Robin has moved his car yet?

[Baitrunner]

Good job it’s a 4x4!!! Do run flats float?

to be honest it’s probably not as bad his side of the marina.

the New ting dene Winter Olympics ski jump!!

thats our very own Ranworth Breeze in the background. 

the water should be dropping soon - I think. 

The rascal is safe. Seen in his wellies just 10 mins ago.

Is this flooding caused by rain or just the high spring tides and a Northerly wind in the North Sea?

[Baitrunner]

Springs and the wind.

Or perhaps lack of dredging (MM sneaks into a corner giggling)

or too much dredging

[marshman]

Its ok - because of the lack of dredging the water could not yet have got up the Bure!!

Or has it??

I’ve been posting updates today on the NBN Facebook Group but here is my videos edited into a single one for you HERE 

As I type, the tide is once more rising with high water in Brundall expected to peak around 2:00am. Hopefully it won’t be too awful when it does.

Robin video not playing on Google having to download

Thanks Robin,  you might want to upgrade from wellies to waders.

[LondonRascal]

I could not upload the video to youtube but I did sign out and check and the link should take you to the Google Drive page and play like a Youtube video and not need to download, at least it does on my Laptop

Dear all,

Flood alerts are again in place today Wednesday 9 January for the tidal River Waveney from Ellingham to Breydon Water (including Beccles Quay, Oulton Broad, Somerleyton, St Olaves, Haddiscoe and Belton) and tidal River Yare, from Thorpe St Andrew to Breydon Water (including Brundall, Cantley, Reedham and Burgh Castle).

High water levels may last for a few days until the effect of the high tides at Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft this week have passed. This is due to the natural tide locking effect of high tidal waters moving up the rivers yesterday from Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft that restricts the normal drainage out to sea of the Broads river system at low tide. The Environment Agency are not currently expecting the situation to escalate on either of the rivers.

Kind regards,
Tom
