As at 20.30 - still raining
Laindon (here) 71mm
Corringham - 76mm
Hadleigh - 89mm
Canvey island- 87mm

This is a particular problem on Canvey Island as it is below sea level.
The roads are under a foot or more of water as high tide was around 4pm
so the water can't flow away. The main A127 is also shut.
Maybe why there were yellow warnings issued Lawrence?

Hi, Dave,
Any ideas of final 24 hour totals? Those figures are impressive. I advised
No.2 son (lives in Wanstead) not to go to the cricket yesterday but football
instead (Wycombe away at Oxford). I see even some football was called off
down there!
Not much rain here during the day yesterday and Bishops beat Penrith.
Best wishes,
Ken
