The forecast shows gales and heavy rain but no different to what we would usually get about this time of year. 10+ hours of "persistent and heavy rain"?

Asthehills Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Have you seen the work they have done down there? I am going out on a limb and saying I actually think it will be ok down Glen Road area. Those new culverts they have constructed are huge. *. This assumes no diggers air busses in the river, or holes in the new wall. I would be more concerned about Castletown where the new flood wall looks like it just moves the problem upstream or Ramsey where they have done nothing other than let everything become even more neglected than it has been in recent years. Hopefully Pulrose bridge will be fine and that won’t just shift the problem more into Hills Meadow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see the water level right up to the top of these glass flood prevention walls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Friday afternoon high tide is 6.8M.... not big but might, if the cumulative effect of 3cm of water running down valleys were to meet it, create some issues. Or possibly at the early Saturday morning high tide at 6.7M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where it tells us that Flood Risk was transferred to the DOI on 1st November 2020 and is now nothing to do with Manx Utilities. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
