[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7822843, member: 718"] Yet more rubbish from a government department desperate to justify jobs for the boys. In my neck of the woods it has the same ridiculous flood map for 2030, only eight years in future, as it has for 2070. The 2030 one is ridiculous and it is highly unlikely that half my local town will be flooded with flooding no worse in recent years that it was in the 1960's and then only just lapping over the harbour wall at a high spring tide with the wind blowing in through the harbour mouth while the river was in extreme full flow. If sea level rose another four inches in that time it wouldn't flood more than a quarter of the area shown and then only in those conditions. It shows my house in town well in the flood zone where in fact it is about 20ft above any high tide or river level I've ever seen. Perhaps they are expecting a tsunami? Those extreme conditions are not occurring at more frequent intervals than I remember from the 1960's. About one year in ten for a day or so and only for a couple of hours if conditions are 'right' at Spring high tide. [/QUOTE]
