So in the end just the normal "meteo-surge" not tsunami, the
Scandinavian origin from a very minor trough passage there and then
continuity "push" by another trough over the UK disguised it, not a
spontaneously occuring atmospheric event over the Dogger as origin.
Once these surges start , they travel for 100s if not 1000s of miles.
At least it shows why there are such a lot of anomolous "surge" events
Sheerness way (remember 1953 Canvey Island the most estreme example),
the shelving effect of the Dogger and general south North Sea funnelling
