Flood warning in Hornsea
The Environment Agency are warning people to take care
Last updated 3rd Aug 2023
There's a warning for flooding in Hornsea - with the most at risk areas including along Marine Drive, South Promenade and Hornsea Burton Road.
The Environment Agency say that strong winds and spring tides may cause large waves and spray overtopping the coast.
The warning was issued late on Wednesday (2nd August) and is due to be in place through the morning of the 3rd August.
People are being advised to not go within the flood warning area unless they have to - and even then we're being encouraged to stay away from the seafront.
The Environment Agency are asking people to " stay away from beaches, promenades, coastal footpaths and roads as the expected large waves and sea spray will be dangerous".
Below is a map of where the warning covers;
There are other flood alerts, which are less severe, in place in East Yorkshire.
They include the North Sea coast, along Skipsea, Hornsea Mappleton, Withernsea, Eastingon and Kilnsea - and the Humber Estuary from Spurn Point to Winestead Outfall.
