This morning we were up, whilst it was still dark, to get a lift with the kids on the school run so we could go shopping. Whilst I was rubbing my eyes and silently cursing Heidi and her mum for wanting to leave so early, I was pleasantly surprised to see the large moon shining over the Humber Estuary and the Lifeboat.
I was told that I was letting the corner down with the lack of Christmas lights outside, so I succumbed to the peer pressure and got a few more. I may have to get more in the January sales and we'll compete harder next year! Pete might kill me if I spend any more on lights this year.
The tide tables warned us we could have a high spring tide of 8.4m last night, however Spurn was faced with an incredible tide of almost 10m! One lady attempted to drive through the flooded road, only to become stuck. With the waves hitting the vehicle and the lady unable to get out the lifeboat men were called to help. The road was buried under around a metre of water, but the lady was safely removed from the vehicle, and a few hours later the men returned to a scene of devastation. The car and road have taken quite a beating from mother nature, which I captured this morning.
