Seems like not everyone in East Anglia is taking it seriously!

While Norfolk was on high alert at 9 p.m., Suffolk radio was reporting people looking at the sea and thinking it was lovely.

While Norfolk residents were almost fighting for sandbags, Suffolk radio was laughing at the very idea of sandbags. There was even a quote "Everyone including the fire brigade knows that sandbags do no good anyway".

While vulnerable people in Norfolk were being evacuated to safe places, the same people in Suffolk were not.....

So who will be right? I am not into the Norfolk v Suffolk rivalry but I have witnessed tonight two very different responses to the predicted spring tides.

BBC Radio Norfolk were advising about the potential flooding from tea time. BBC Radio Suffolk were still doing the jolly hockey sticks, it'll be something nice to look at at the seafront aspect, until at least ten thirty pm.

Who is right? Who knows at this time of night. I hope it turns out to be a scare over nothing. That way the Suffolk authorities will be vindicated. If not, the Norfolk way will prove to have been the best.

Update at 2351 : Radio Suffolk is still saying things are calm in Lowestoft, yet saying this must be a huge risk as the Government have been talking about it. Let's hope the Suffolk people have nerves of steel and that the flooding doesn't happen!

Off to bed. Wanted to zonk out earlier but not tired. Ready for sleep now. Seeing Sam tomorrow!
