A road by the Suffolk coast is under nearly two metres of water this morning (Friday, December 22) after last night's surge tides.
A tidal surge is when a storm's wind pushes water onshore and several areas in Suffolk were due to be hit by flooding due to the strong winds during Storm Pia.
The Environment Agency issued warnings for the A12 near Southwold and Southwold town yesterday afternoon as the tidal surge was expected to cause significant disruption.
The sensor reading at Potters Bridge at 6am today said that parts of the B1127 were under 183cm of flood water, making the road impassable to vehicles.
It currently remains open to traffic, however.
The road is prone to flooding and in 2021 more than 300 people signed a petition to urgently fix the road after a spate of closures due to flooding.
Work was undertaken to fix the issue in November this year with the Environment Agency building a channel to release the trapped water.
