Winds are dying right down now, worst over, going to be high tide tonight though, possible flooding in low lying un-protected areas,

City Council have just said it's completely open now mate.

Can't believe people on Facebook putting things like 'are the shops in Town open?' I can't believe that anyone needs food or more likely Xmas presents this badly! Most things will be back to normal in a day or 2.

If you don't need to go anywhere keep the roads clear and let the emergency services start the clean-up and the workers get home tonight safely and quickly!

What about the pubs and bingo though?

You are not thinking about the bigger picture

Well last night on the river was pretty uneventful, sat on the boat in Grimsby Dock all night as pilotage was suspended.

This is what's left of spurn road, the road has been gone a few months now but this is certainly the worst it's ever been. You can see the water pipe exposed and power cables have gone.

geologically speaking spurn is due to breach permanently soon, only the island at the end will be left and eventually all will be washed away, then a new spit will form slightly west of the current one. there have been several spurns over time. the narrows breach every year now and the road is washed away most years. this permanent breach won't be too far away
