Receptor and Consequence
This event was associated with localised flooding in some locations in the Solent, Hampshire (Ruocco et al. 2011). The high street in Langstone was inundated to a depth of 3 ft. [0.9 m], and overtopping in parts of Portsmouth also flooded a number of local roads. Some residential properties in Northney, Hayling Island were isolated due to the flood water. Properties were also affected in Fareham and Totton, including one 250-year-old cottage on Lower Quay Road (Ruocco, 2009). The conditions at the latter location described as among the worst observed during this event.
