I don't think the advice to stay away from the sea in such
conditions is unreasonable, bearing in mind it is aimed at the
public in general. It is not exactly an essential activity to go and
take photos and if people get it wrong then it means the emergency
services or the coastguard having to put themselves at risk to bail
them out.


I'm starting to feel guilty. We only went to do a bit of shopping,
honest.


I wasn't criticising you, in fact I was saying that it was good that
people were taking such interesting footage.

At most there seemed to be about 2 inches of water sloshing
across the road, I don't know how much it would take to float
a car off it's wheels but I imagine much more than that so I very
much doubt you were in any real danger.

Besides, I'm sure they would have closed the road if you were.
