Warning no longer in force

There is no longer a threat of flooding, though standing water and debris may still remain. 
The previous tide of concern has now passed, the weather is more settled and no flooding is expected. Strong winds and large wave conditions are expected to continue. 
We will continue to monitor the situation and will issue further alerts or warnings if necessary.  
Continue to take care on waterside roads and footpaths and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger. Never drive through flood water, just 30cm of fast flowing water is enough to move your car.
