There's been a fair amount of talk on the local news about the Harvest
Moon on Sat/Sun this coming weekend. Apparently - it'll be very close to
the earth so will appear very large in the sky (not that we'll be able
to see it!), it's full on Saturday night, and by all accounts it's going
to be a pretty pink colour.

So let's see if I've got this straight. A full moon creating high spring
tides - 21.14 Sunday evening at Great Yarmouth, and a deep depression
crossing the country out into the North Sea on Sunday evening with the
associated high winds and heavy rain. So why hasn't the Environment
Agency started issuing flood warnings for the east coast and river
estuaries? At the moment their forecast for Sunday along the east coast
is "low risk".

The Express is taking it calmly:

Yes, they're usually far more melodramatic aren't they?

I did like this line though:
"The best time to see the meteors is when there is not much other light in
the sky."

So 'night' might be a good time to look, huh?

When I wrote that piece, I had not heard of the flooding experienced in
Cambridgeshire from Friday's rain. Pretty bad in some places apparently.

With Sunday's forecast now a main news item for East Anglia, I can see
some more heartache for those people.

Maybe the east coast will get away with it, but those inland are going
to be in real trouble.
