[@leeronaldwalker2635]

Brilliant video,I’ve only ever seen Whitby with sunshine and dry weather,amazing high tide .

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

I've never managed to go there when it has been sunny.

[@hazelmanship7516]

Gosh looks bad there, been lots of rain here overnight and this morning, fed up of it now. great to see your vlog, thanks for sharing 😊

[@jerwiffy]

Thankyou for posting this. Much appreciated

[@janinehawkins9565]

Was worse than that in 2014, flooded out Specsavers and bookies, etc. Closed for weeks.

[@thewhitbyphotographer]

I was there when they opened the doors of Weatherspoons, to let the water out :)

[@janinehawkins9565]

@@thewhitbyphotographer yes it had only just been finished if I remember right

[@thewhitbyphotographer]

@@janinehawkins9565 only open 1 week and they had to do a complete refit.

[@LeighWinspear]

Be nice to know, officially if all the historic efforts of flood prevention are working! If not, why not and what is the next step towards a solution by those responsible.

[@glenmason1876]

No end to this rain, last year was bad, this one's not looking any better

[@BlokeOnAMotorbike]

we're on the tail end of a storm, too, don't forget. Lots of places have been flooded this week. (We sure dodged that bullet with the Dave Myers rideout on Sunday, although I was fighting hard headwinds heading back over the Humber bridge and all the way back to Nottingham!)

[@shona1578]

Wow. I saw the tide was pretty high from my flat on Windsor Terrace, but didn't realise it was THAT high! Almost makes me wish I'd braved the rain and wind for a splodge into town. Almost...!

[@simplywhitby5356]

Great video!

[@thewhitbyphotographer]

Cheers dude.

[@reme147]

Not exactly flooded is it? It's just a high spring tide linked to the full moon and it's distance from earth

[@thewhitbyphotographer]

Partially correct. But missing some info. The tide in the Whitby tide book was a high of 5.9M. A rough estimation would suggest there is a good 0.5m more water than that. Low pressure and a westerly wind play a huge part in the extra water.

[@rwiliamson8051]

"Full moon"?

[@thewhitbyphotographer]

@@rwiliamson8051 No. Full moon is over 2 weeks away. Low Pressure creates the surge.

[@rwiliamson8051]

@@thewhitbyphotographer it was a question mark on the post saying it was a full moon, it was a new moon a couple of days ago

[@frankhornby6873]

Thanks for the info...professor Cox....👍🏻

[@Gazr965]

You always tend to get a few ass holes that will drive as fast as they can through puddles, I have seen a few come unstuck with that one😎 Gaz Yorkshire.

[@nook788]

Not good but have seen it worse when I was in my teens many years ago. Remember the Miss Waters’s actually sweeping water out of their house in a yard off Baxtergate.

[@ShaneGilbert-cx4th]

TAKE CARE ALL in Whitby ,from me in coventry UK. 😊😊👍👍

[@_Shinasu]

Came for the flood then started to feel like i was part of surveillance on that bloke filming then back to the flood 😅

[@simon-oy6um]

Equenoxial tides with a low pressure system does it ,the seagulls arent complaining 😅😅

[@thewhitbyphotographer]

Correct answer :)

[@simon-oy6um]

@@thewhitbyphotographer i used to live in weymouth seen it there too

[@thewhitbyphotographer]

@@simon-oy6um Seen some big surges over the years. Worst I remember I think was Dec 2013,. There was a good 6ft more of water that day.

[@simon-oy6um]

@@thewhitbyphotographer just think yourself lucky you didnt have an easterly gale with it

[@simon-oy6um]

@@thewhitbyphotographer i remember very well drinking in the old rooms pub in weymouth watching the the tide coming up then the tide came up through the drains we were wearing our wellies but we kept drinking with the tide around our feet and later helped the landlord mop out and carried on drinking 🤣🤣🤣

[@johngibson3837]

Never seen that much water in the harbour before, it's actually quite nice seeing the boats at this height though

[@joline2730]

Oh no, I'm gonna go there soon . . 😮😮

[@TheXeneco]

The tides have nothing to do with climate change. With the sun and the moon pretty much in the same space in the sky (there was an eclipse, remember), their combined gravity will create higher tides. The high tides don’t help with river flooding from all the wet weather we’ve been having as the water has no where to go until the tide goes out again

[@thewhitbyphotographer]

You're correct to point out it was a spring tide. We get these every month. Yesterdays tide in The Whitby area was a predicted high of 5.9 which is nothing out of the ordinary, in fact we had significantly higher tides in Feb and March that didnt cause any flooding at all. So why was yesterday different ?? What came was closer to 6.5 m - 7.0m, so How are you accounting for the half meter or more of extra water if your saying its just a normal spring tide ?? The short answer is it was a small but not insignificant Tidal Surge. If you look into Tidal surges they are very much caused by weather systems, and specifically low pressure areas over the water.

[@TheXeneco]

@@thewhitbyphotographer wasn’t aware of the tidal surge, not surprising with the current influx of Atlantic storms this month. Some will coincide with spring tides, some not. At least not as devastating as the surge of 1953 in Essex.

[@pitoulatika]

Climate change is a normal cycle, there is no climate crisis. Most of the rain we’ve had all winter and spring is due to the relentless weather geoengineering that’s been going on for decades

[@thewhitbyphotographer]

Man made rain ?

[@andrewthornton1945]

No crabing today 😮

[@669basher9rc]

Omg. Drain is blocked. Made a little-known puddle. Let's film it.

[@mhmackyticlemouse]

O my goodness I never thought whitby could flood love so so sad 😢😢

[@tommay1959]

Its just a high spring tide

[@Oligodendrocyte139]

On the 4,000th of April?

[@DS-cf1zc]

That is high - I recall it flooding spoons the year it opened, and costing them a few quid to get the place back in shape again.

[@jacqz7520]

That bloke filming that puddle n the road is hilarious! Come to Oz & you’ll see real floods. 🙄🤣🇦🇺

[@jacqz7520]

That’s not a flood! When houses are submerged, livestock have to swim to high ground, & you must use a dinghy to get down the main road, then it’s a flood. 🇦🇺

[@wideyxyz2271]

2012 and 2016 were worse.

[@rickwomack9640]

What's the story behind the chieftain?

[@thewhitbyphotographer]

There's many stories circulating. One prominent one is the purchase of the boat by Whitby Lobster Hatchery with an aim to sink it at sea making new habitat for Lobsters and marine life.

[@rickwomack9640]

Ah cool, thanks for the reply we saw it last few times we've been and I started to wonder about it

[@LeighWinspear]

Is street flooding acceptable? if so, by what measure? Whitby needs a discount wellie outlet.............;)

[@Littlegem856]

Wow it's crazy weather, 🤗 fantastic video 👏

[@mrmocki]

more councils not cleaning gulleys out and less climate change nonsense

[@TheBailiff2]

It amazes me how people happily come onto youtube to demonstrate how utterly thick they are to the entire world.

[@catherinemorris5848]

Wow!

[@yorkieelliot2487]

I just hope they got the Donkeys off the beach! Joking aside, I haven't seen water levels this high in Whitby before.

[@thewhitbyphotographer]

They usually sit the donkeys on top of the Abbey when town floods ;)

[@frankhornby6873]

We are going to Whitby in 2 weeks time..(staying for a week)...hope the weather improves...👍🏻

[@Reece-h5l]

Only a handful of drivers had any manners and complied with the law. As usual the Police were absent No I was wrong the Police vehicle also ignored the law.What a rabble.

[@MrColey999]

This is the moon at its closest to the earth no climate change here
