The BBC are reporting very strong high tides causing coastal flooding today.

High tide for Wirral is around 12.05pm today and 9.52M (a fairly high one).

Chances are they'll close New Brighton Prom, but if anyone is free to get up there, there may be some great photo ops.

Knew I loved New Brighton.....it was awesome to see the sea as it was today...breathtaking !!
Feel for anyone suffering because of it though....did anyone see the ground floor flat in the old Chelsea Reach building ?
The double doors had been forced in and the flat was full of debris and water
