The authorities in Ironbridge have got a decision to make.
Pumps along the Wharfage to take floodwater away will need refueling at some point, but that might be difficult with the water that's seeping through barriers there getting deeper.
It may be too dangerous to get down the Wharfage to get more fuel into the apparatus.
But if the pumps stop working, then that means the Wharfage will fill with the Severn more quickly.
The Environment Agency says it hopes to be able to keep the pumps running. And it has used a drone this afternoon to inspect the buckled barrier, because it's not safe to walk along its length, although it doesn't appear to be in danger of breaching.
The body also said it would carry out work over the next two days to shore up the barrier, as water levels fall.
Bags for life were never meant for this!
Telford and Wrekin Council said canine Harry had been left at a property on the Wharfage in Ironbridge while his owner went to visit a relative this morning.

Here's the River Severn flowing through Bridgnorth, Shropshire, earlier today.
It's reached a height of 5.19m and isn't expected to rise much above that this afternoon.
A reception centre has been opened at Castle Hall by Shropshire Council and Bridgnorth Town Council, to offer advice to people affected by the flooding.
Some of the museums in the Ironbridge Gorge have been able to stay open, despite the flooding.
The gorge is a UNESCO World Heritage Centre, external, because of its importance to the Industrial Revolution.
The Blists Hill Victorian Town, Coalbrookdale Museum of Iron, and Enginuity are all high enough up not to be affected.
The gorge is home to mines, the furnace where Abraham Darby first used coke to produce iron, and the iron bridge itself.
This footage shows you what they've been dealing with at The Wharfage in Ironbridge.
The barriers held, then buckled significantly in places, to let in water under the defences.
The River Severn has been leaking through an Ironbridge flood barrier
It was more of a seep than surge, according to the authorities, which suggested a "flexing" of defences, rather than a "breaking".
But by the end of this video, you can see how a seeping Severn soon builds up on the wrong side of the barrier.
Police said they carried out "emergency" evacuations.
With flooding along much of the River Severn in the West Midlands, here's a reminder the weather forecast for the next 24 hours is not looking good.
Image source, Met OfficeThe Met Office has issued two yellow weather warnings for snow and ice which, between them, cover the whole region.
The first warning, for snow and ice in Shropshire, runs from 22:00 and lasts until 10:00 Thursday., external
The other, just for snow, covers the rest of Shropshire as well as Herefordshire and Worcestershire from midnight until midday tomorrow., external
All the tracks into Shrewsbury railway station have been declared safe by Network Rail, allowing services to resume.
It could take some time for rail operators to bring them back, though, and passengers are still being warned to expect disruption for the rest of the day.
Network Rail engineers have been out on the River Severn in Shrewsbury today to inspect the Severn Railway Bridge.
The bridge had to be closed over safety concerns yesterday afternoon, meaning the majority of rail services in and out of town were suspended.
Image source, Network RailNetwork Rail said it was worried about the depth and velocity of the river around the bridge supports.
Its team has been inspecting the bridge using sonar equipment and hopes to have services returning to normal this afternoon. More on that shortly....

It said "that's one of the highest gaugings we've ever recorded here", and added there's "a huge amount of power in that water".
As we've been telling you throughout the day, in one part of town, water has come over the top of flood defences.
It appears river levels in Ironbridge aren't rising any more, but they're not falling quickly either, so barriers there will need to hold a while longer.
We told you earlier that water was getting through defences at The Wharfage.
