[Closed] So how much would the sea-level have to rise to flood your home?

28m, more of a worry is the tsunami generated by the canary islands volcano. I have an quake app on the phone...........

At 195m up I am not too worried! Interesting map at that level though.

Correction 22m!

74 m .

edit : 378m for my home in france . not much left of the uk .

130m, Southern edge of Brecon Beacons.

I live in the Fens, some of which is below sea level. I'm at the top of a 'hill', 50m above sea level, so I may have to get a boat.

I'd be fine in the top flat, but at 23m I'd be need a boat to get to work.

24-32m which given in less than a mile from the beach doesn't feel too bad.

Having said that our beach hut would be an early casualty.

90 feet, and we're only 1/2 mile from the sea. Reckon we're safe for a while though...

At 20m the Isle of Ely Will be an island again at 25 all but a tiny piece will be under water. When you live in the fens 5m elevation is a lot!

191 Meters.

That said, it'll probably blow down before it gets flooded.

EDIT: If the world floods at 190 meters, I'm making a break for the 'Dales.

Over 200m. I'll hold off on getting a boat.

154m

At 160m Scotland is separated from England by the the Straits of Haltwhistle....has a certain ring to it!!

I wonder if Wee Eck and The Surgeon have thought of this?

260m....I'd live on a tiny island though.I'll try and remember that when having to ride up 'that bloody hill' to get home.

14m here so can you please all stop washing bibs after every ride and driving your kids to a school.

42m

The north does look a lot nicer like that.

Spain is pretty well protected.

My ( shared ) front door is a couple of metres below sea level at the moment, but as I live on the 12th floor, It would have to raise a fair bit for the inside of my apartment to start getting wet.

900m, not too worried although I'd definitely have my parents in the spare bedroom.

erk! 24m and I'm paddling - however the nuclear power station a few miles from here would probably go all 'china syndrome' if there was a flood which would at least raise the water temperature..

440ft, so should it happen I'll console myself that Liverpool, Manchester and Cheshire have all gone the way of the dinosaurs 😆

96m to my front gate. That will make approaches to Pedalabikeaway in the FoD damp. Very nearly cutting the FoD in half . West Dean would be an island. I have often thought about independence 🙂

250m. I'd be on a small island. To the east, a small proportion of the costwolds above the water, to the west, the brecon beacons

Bristol, Birmingham,manchester Cardiff all gone

4! 🙁

301 meters, think I'll put another log on the fire

About 900ft real money, top of North Worcs Alps.

17m for me before I start to get twitchy. So much for living in the north. Damn you vale of York grrrrrrr

228m. I think I'm safe. The flood risk would be from the River Spey, not the sea

240m would give me a nice sea front property on the side of a Fjord.

Go on, use that car, burn that coal, spray those aerosols 🙂

145m to flood the basement, but only need to go 2 streets away to get to safe ground

doesn't work for previous residence. even at 0m it says flooded. and that's for a town in Netherlands, apparently at 4m elevation.

Given on the higher side of town, reckon 70m comfortable, 80m with water lapping the door

About 6ft above a spring tide for me

348m, the rest of you are long gone, Pennines, Exmoor, Dartmoor and Lakes is all thats left of England.

252m. Britain is pretty much a series of small islands at that point though, I think the pub is still ok though, so that's where I'm headed

26mtrs in Boroughbridge. I do, however possess a Canadian canoe & 15 fishing rods so I should survive.

more of a worry is the tsunami generated by the canary islands volcano. I have an quake app on the phone...........

I'd be more concerned about that if I lived on the Eastern seaboard of the USA. If the Western side of La Palma fell off it could 'potentially' dump 500 cubic kilometres of rock into the sea!
Or so I heard.
This says otherwise...

320+ meters. Pretty safe, might build an ark just in case.

I'm 25mtrs of mean low water springs here on the coast, so thats not a fat lot left of dry land is it 😆 and our appt in town is on the Thames and we're the third floor..

So whilst I'll get wet feet here on the coast if we scuttle back to town we'll be fine I reckon 😀

130 metres for me... But I think I'd be inconvenienced by the fleeing hordes before that point.

Cool toy that, cheers!

4m and its wet feet for me. This is actually surprising because I'm pretty much sea level(maybe 4 or 5 feet above) and about 10 metres from the sea.

Yeah, nickc is safe. Not that he'll have any signal to let anyone know.

26m would see the house under water, or at least lapping the steps. Most of the good riding would still be available though - if only could get to it... :!

31m would see me owning my own little island 8)

at 33 I'd have a reef 😆

11m would see the people on the bottom floor in trouble but I'd need a few more metres before my feet got wet..

Good new Glyncorrg is 217 meters above sea level, bad news is you will need a boat to get to the trailhead 😯

90m for me,where did I put me snorkel?

Sea is 50m away but about 20m lower than the house. We are on an old raised beach though!

210m,, Imagine my place will be full of friends and family..lol

157 metres so most of England would be underwater. This is what I keep telling the at work when they say 'what would you do if the water reaches your door step'

30 metres in Ballaugh and 375 metres in Platsa - I know where I'll be anyway.

3m and Im gone in the briney!
We are protected by a man made shigle bank but that gets breached on stormy night with a spring tide and asscoiated low pressure overhead .

Bugger

195m. By the time the flood waters made it to my front door, I think the end of the world would have been officially declared quite some time ago, and I'll be sat awaiting the arrival of an ark.

It'd be worse than a crap Kevin Costner film.

The pubs only about ten metres further down though, so I'd be reet for a while 🙂

FWIW, if all the snow and ice at the poles completely melted, the water level would only rise around 70 meters.

Living by the source of a river, I'm not worried! 😀

A very surprising 157m

I'm building a wall to keep you ****ers out for when the time comes

That's only actually 18m daaaaahn saaaaarf though innit Flashy? 😉

Yep, no hills down here Binners. Only money.

😉

At 134m I would be a tiny reef in Cheshire. Most of England has gone. Reckon Range Rover would have moved into speedboats by this time to serve their clientele.

120m - in the archipelago of Fife.

207m, phew.

its a norwegian tsunami you wanna watch for

well i live in a fjord already and have a boat

70m here in GeordieLand.

100 meters and it's tot ziens Holland and bye bye Denmark...pretty much

185m, that's quite high for a somerset village, most of the county is underwater at 10!

220m oop near M62, J23
Do I win an Easter egg?
It was so cloudy today I couldn't see my ankles

50m, and I'd be living on a little island a couple of miles offshore at that point. Thankfully whilst the school and village hall would have already gone, one decent pub would be left as well as the rubbish one. Though I have a double sea kayak, and a very nice pub at the nearest point on the mainland. The funny thing is, it has flooded up to about half a mile away and we have been cutoff from all other dry land in one direction fairly recently.

Not sure why anybody is surprised at how much the sea would have to rise - I knew I lived at 50m ASL. More interesting is seeing the required level to separate bits of the country - 50m appears to be the crucial figure to generate the Isle of North Yorkshire.

Well it's a 8m sea level here on the gloriously low South coast resulting in my house becoming a beachfront property.

Still, I'm half a mile from the sea and there's a nice private housing estate between me and the sea which I reckon can be easily be bulldozed into a sea wall should the need arise.... 😉

4m...but I've a good pair of wellies!

38 floors. Should be safe!

50 metres and it sure would improve the view as I'd end up as a chain of islands along the south coast.

I have a wide sea view but its about a mile away so a bit closer would make it more appreciable 😉

218m in the Peak District - does this mean I'll have to take the MIL in as she is at 115m?

Three metres vertically and 400 metres inland. But I'm not too concerned about it.

10m and we lose Portsmouth all together

I'm off to make some global warming then

[i]FWIW, if all the snow and ice at the poles completely melted, the water level would only rise around 70 meters.[/i]

ONLY? 😯

[quote=wwaswas ]24-32m which given in less than a mile from the beach doesn't feel too bad.

That post is exactly what I would have put (inc the beach hut bit) .... not in N Wales are you?

95 metres gives me a much more attractive country to live in and a nice costal property on a peninsula south of the island of Harewood . 100 meters and I can tie my boat up where I currently park my car.

Did this exercise at Uni in the early 80s but no one was bothered.
Happily safe on the Peak District island at 1200ft
