Quote MessageThe combination of gale force winds, high tides, dangerous waves carrying rocks and a coastal surge means parts of the east coast are extremely dangerous. Our thoughts are with all those who are currently facing another uncertain day and night. We ask anyone tempted to go to the coast for a thrill or to take pictures to stay away, you would be putting yourself in unnecessary danger."

Essex Police: 'Comply with police instruction'published at 11:50 Greenwich Mean Time 13 January 2017
Essex Police have called for "people to comply" with evacuations so they stay safe overnight.
Chief inspector Russ Cole said: “I need residents in Jaywick, Mistley and West Mersea to comply with police instruction and evacuate immediately.
"Latest forecasting tells us that the risk has moved to the next high tide, expected just after midnight. That threat has led to a severe flood warning being put in place for tonight’s high tide."
He said it was safest to evacuate people during daylight hours
"Keeping people safe is our only priority and we will be evacuating residents," he added.
