Default Coastal Flood Risk

With the highest tides for 10 years predicted this weekend in some
areas and low pressure to the east giving strong to galeforce gusts
down the east coast flooding could be significant. Whitby could be more
than 3 meters above normal high tide. During the autumn there are even
higher tides predicted and if we get a deep low in the North Sea at
that time we could be looking at a 1953 scenario, will the coastal
defences cope?
