Hundreds of families on the East coast were evacuated on the night of November 8/9, 2007, when the highest tides for more tnan half a century and widespread flooding were forecast.
Fortunately the worst predictions did not come true but I got a few pictures (and wet feet) on Felixstowe sea front next morning.
There was minor damage to some beach huts (as there is every year) and some spectacular waves breaking over the promenade, and ships anchored offshore waiting for the Port to reopen, but the disaster scenario happily did not develop. I say 'happily' speaking as a human being, but the old newspaper mind was perhaps just a little disappointed that there was so little to photograph after all that was promised.
