Accurate and consistent forecasts from the Met Office helped the
Environment Agency and emergency services take decisive action, after
England's east coast experienced one of the highest storm surges and
tides for several decades.


Interesting to see that although this event keeps getting compared
with 1953, the MetO's own press release shows the highest water ODN
was significantly lower than in 1983, so it was in fact the highest
tide for 2 decades. Lucky it didn't happen during the large Springs of
2 weeks ago though.
