Gonna go check out how the Great Wall of Castletown is holding up, high tide pretty soon, although I think the wind is in the wrong direction for proper flooding down here.

I was about to ask about that.

i bet the powers that be are shitting it in case the new wonder bridge gets washed away.

 

It's still there - video from Paul Moulton shows it proudly standing. Closed but still there.

Why would they? You park on the promenade etc at your own risk.  It would simply be up to the owner to claim on their insurance.

Since there was ample warning given about coastal overlapping, my guess is that they'd be fooked

As we heat up the planet there's more moisture and more energy in the air.

As we heat up the planet we change weather patterns.

I think there are several parallels with this and 2015. I was on duty that day, and similarly, I seem to recall there was only a yellow weather warning then. What we ended up with in both cases was in fact a red - threat to life type of scenario. 

This was a lot more than a bit of coastal overtopping.
