Heysham: Today's Very High Tide

There have been very high tides, flooding and high winds throughout the UK today. We were a little more fortunate than some, and I ventured down to the promenade at Heysham where I took the following images. It was just after high tide at 12.30pm. 

Looking through the spray towards Heysham village.  
The waves had broken over the footpath to Heysham village and flooded it to a depth of a couple of feet in places. 
I wasn't going to wade through this! 
Someone did though with a bike!
Just one of the items washed up on the path, amongst all manner of debris. It's a good job no one got hit by this.   
Waves breaking over the slipway.
Thank goodness for the sea defences around Morecambe and Heysham, although part of the promenade was closed to all traffic for a while.

Just one small section of debris to be cleared. 

I wonder where this rope came from?  

It looks very rough out in Morecambe Bay.

  1. Certainly some rough weather about, we missed it this time on the east coast. It's good to record these events for the future although the met people say it will become more of a common occurrence!
