- Storm Pia and Storm Gerrit bring more flooding #storm #weather #update
Hi everyone, welcome back to my channel.
Today I’m in Potter Heigham and while I’m filming, Storm Gerrit is doing its thing. 2 days ago it was Storm Pia ! It is extremely windy but I need footage for this video and I know you all want to see the flooding… well at least I think you do. I’ve had enough of the flooding now, it’s gone on long enough. Compared to places like Scotland and Manchester, we have got off lightly with the storm by comparison. We haven’t escaped totally though, as wide spread power cuts have hit hundreds of homes and businesses in the Norfolk / Norfolk Broads region. Wroxham, Salhouse, South Walsham, Coltishall and Great Yarmouth areas are all affected.

Many year ago the Marshmen knew how to use these floods. They would work out to the sluices and close them leaving the flood water on the marshes. As the levels dropped and the river returned between its banks they would wait until the frost had passed and then let the water from the uppermost meadows. This would allow the grass to start growing and thus give early bite for the cattle. 5his would be repeated until Spring giving rise to a flush of grass and allowing fresh bite for the cattle.
Floods are only a nuisance today because we keep developing in the wrong places and often without regard to the land tilt of East Anglia. We can never stop that because in the last Ice Age there was a two mile deep glacier over the top of the Pennines. As this melted the Pennines rose and East Anglia tilts down at 1/8 inch per year. That is a foot every hundred years so in my lifetime it has tilted 9 3/8 inches. We were taught this at school in the fifties and sixties. Now people come here from all over Britain and complain about floods and erosion and want walls and defences built. It will continue to happen because it is nature. You would have to build a five foot wall from North Lincolnshire to the Thames and continually extend it if you wish to hold back nature for a while and that would include a barrage across the Wash. It will never happen. Already there are architects who are designing structures and cities that could survive in areas where flooding would be a continual occurrence. These conditions do not apply to The Netherlands which has different land conditions. I have listened to the arguments for the best part of eighty years and still incomers turn up with the same complaints and the same arguments. Turn back the history files of the EDP and it arrives on their pages every eight to ten years!
People wish the rivers to be piled and the landscape pumped into them. It is a bog and all you are doing is pumping water in decreasing circles like a garden pond because it slides under the piling. We have floods and must learn to adjust our life style to them to some degree.
I found this fascinating, thank you for sharing this with us all on here. 🙌
Happy New Year 🎆
Thank you so much for posting this !! It must be obvious that these wetlands had been managed and worked in the past or they would not have survived this long. But now that they are treated as a Disney Land theme park and not cared for or considered as a natural resource that need some of the income they provide to be returned to them.
Happy new year and your new voicecx
😂
Happy New Year 🎆🎊 🥳
Thanks Lisa, for this lovely update with fantastic long distance camera shots, I agree with glynluff whole heartedly and the earth is heading into the next Ice Age, the previous Ice Age was caused by global warming and that's where the world is headed, it's a natural cycle. I hope that you had a lovely Christmas. Happy New Year. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Thank you for watching Stevie,
I had a wonderful Christmas thank you, hope you and your family did too.
🥳 Happy New Year 🎆🎈🎊
Thank you for the updates Lisa, I do enjoy them although sad about the flooding
Thank you Hev , I think we are on storm 7 since September 😱
Happy New Year 🎆 to you and your family x
@@NewnameSameme Happy New Year Lisa and family x
Happy New Year Leasa
Happy New Year to you too Gordon 🎆🍾🥂🥳
I am fed up with the flooding because businesses and homes have been so badly affected by it. I have noticed on occasions you speaking very carefully. Hope all is going well with whatever you are having done at the dentist. This afternoon we went out for a short walk and for the first time in ages the local road was dry (no bathing of the hounds on our return)! This in between time from Christmas to New Year makes no difference to me but it must be lovely for those who have time off work and get time to chill out. Enjoy your weekend.
I’ve had enough of it too. It’s the wildlife I feel sorry for aswell. Did the Chinese water deer manage to escape in time? What about the badgers, hare, fox, rabbits, voles and everything else that live on the marshes. No one seems to discuss them in the news. Luckily the Spoonbills are away on their Winter Sun holiday. (Gibraltar).
Have a good weekend too SW xx
i'll be glad when xmas is over with , i'm not really a xmas person , especially with all this horrible weather ,i just want to move onto spring , it looked like the swans were enjoying the floods .
I’m not usually christmassy at all but thoroughly enjoyed it this year.
Those swans were having a fabulous time.
Hello, How are the businesses/homes and holiday lets fairing with the floods elsewhere ie Wroxham, Horning ludham?
Well yesterday Storm Gerrit took out the electricity for hundreds of homes and businesses. (That’s in Sunday’s news video).
Busiest time of the year , flooding and power cuts, not great. Poor people. Most had to shut I believe. Ones beside the river anyway.
45mph winds in storm Gerrit .
Thank you for the update. I was wondering how the land based wild life was faring .... I suppose that they have moved further inland ...or perhaps they have given up on the Norfolk Broads and have all rented holiday cottages on the Southern Broads 😂😂😂
I have a 2nd channel just for the wildlife…
@NewnameSameme I didn't know that, thank you. What is it called ? 🤔
