MY littleboat Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Due to wind and tide conditions very much higher than normal flooding is already occuring around the Broads area. I have been told by the operator that REEDHAM FERRY IS NOW CLOSED FOR THIS EVENING as the approach area is already flooded. With up to two metres HIGHER than predicted, an immediate flood warning is in force. High tide is at 18.15 (Great Yarmouth) Please add the difference accordingly for your area.

Guest DAYTONA-BILL Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I doubt if they were to stop any flood water Lozi, more likely to be in place to stop the boats floating over the quay heading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 The quay heading was in the process of being raised and straightened from before Christmas, a couple of weeks before the flooding. This screen capture was taken on the 23rd Dec, when they had just started work. Looks as though it was sorely needed, shame they didn't start a month or two earlier....
