Floods possible

by isleofman.com 30th March 2006
There is a risk of flooding in parts of the Island today (Thurs).

With low pressure, a storm surge and strong southwesterly winds, the Met Office says water levels in Douglas are predicted to reach around half a metre above levels in published tide tables, and possibly as high as 8.2 metres at high tide around 12.55pm.

Whilst there is still an element of doubt, predictions suggest there's a risk of flooding around some of the harbour areas, mainly Douglas, Castletown and Ramsey, and water levels may reach over the top of some promenades and coastal roads

There could also be some debris thrown onto exposed routes

Motorists are being advised not to park their cars in areas which may be at risk.
