Severe flood warnings are in place on parts of the east coast of England, with the Environment Agency warning of "extreme danger to life and property".

Prime Minister Gordon Brown was chairing an emergency Cobra meeting, as low pressure and strong winds combined to cause a North Sea tidal surge.

Does she know the situation? It's all over the news but if she's not watching the news she won't know.

They are evacuating some people.

Im shitting hot bricks this morning, were far in land but with this surge being so powerful were being warned it will hit us as were only 20 miles in land and my house is a matter of meters from the river.
