On 5th December 2013, I was on-call at work anticipating major flooding down the east coast of England, and eventually sweeping into Kent. River levels were expected to rise, flooding was expected, and communities could have been cut off. We opened the incident roomin anticipation, and had the rolling tv news on, tracking the storm surge as it came south.
Then Nelson Mandela went and died, and all the news bulletins switched to this news. We therefore had no idea what was happening to the storm surge! Fortunately it was not as bad as expected and all was well.
