Ahead of heavy rain and potentially high North East Waves thoughts following the sad demolition of another property at North End Avenue at #Thorpeness Is it useful to think whether increasing intensity of storms is influencing severe erosion altering the very bones of the beach alteredcoast.blog

A nasty low-pressure system associated with #stormbenjamin has remained slow moving over the North Sea with high waves and a storm surge that looks to persist with another flood alert issued for Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th October check-for-flooding.service.gov.uk/target-area/...

This 🧵 "Eccles-on-sea is a lost village. What’s left barely sits on the edge of the land, the medieval town has long since gone following its forebears including Doggerland into the offshore sediments. Caravan parks & the Bush Estate remain, gripping the seawall against the spite of the North sea."

Norfolk’s coast is crumbling. As erosion accelerates, local authorities face impossible choices: protect a few homes short-term at great cost, or accept the sea’s advance. Owen Sennitt reports

Thoughts on ten years of Maximum Observed Tide heights should have also said with both #SeaLevelRise and increasing intensity of storms it is also the greater amounts of #energy in water levels that could make higher volumes of water harder to contain with potential to accelerate erosion.
