A much less busy #flood map now but still lots going on for the #Severn. Levels have peaked for most but still v high at #Gloucester down.

Sadly there is more #rain on the forecast later this week so many #barriers will stay up. Check https://t.co/xao8qx9ADP to stay #floodaware

[Mike Grimes @MikeGrimesEA]

Thanks for all your help and support guys, safe trip back to N Norfolk. @EnvAgencyAnglia

[Mark Bowers @MarkBowersEA]

I get to see some amazing things in this job, some great, some not so great. What I've seen today is simply amazin. Both temporary barriers at #Ironbridge and #BealesCorner have been assessed, repaired and are back ready for #StormJorge #MultiAgency response at its best. #JESIP

[John Curtin @JPCurtinClimate]

Ok the numbers are in for the flood peaks on the River Severn. Rather remarkably the two February floods have made it to the all time top five river levels for the Severn

Fortunate to have a trio of MAVO’s today in Shrewsbury. Here is Rich, Hayley and Catherine. Their role is to turn our data, intel and visuals into ‘stuff’ we can use to support our warn and informing activities and operational response. #TeamEA

[Christian Wilcox @Chri5tianWilcox]

Great day and proud to be working with so many amazing @EnvAgency colleagues from across the country. Temporary barrier at #Bewdley inspected, damage repaired, and water back on the wet side of the defence. Good as new Ready for whatever comes this weekend.

[Chris Bainger @ChrisBaingerEA]

LIVE: @BBCShropshire asked about speed of flow. Here this is the water traveling across the main #Frankwell car park. #Staysafe #FloodAware @ShropshireStar @ShrewsburyTC a

[Mark Bowers @MarkBowersEA]

Potential huge peak of between 6.7 - 7.0 at Buildwas on the River Severn means we’ve issued the Severe Flood Warning (again). Levels could be higher than last week. Please listen to advice and #StaySafe https://t.co/zlzhdcBpc9

[Chris Bainger @ChrisBaingerEA]

We have deployed the #drone with @TeamUAV in #Shrewsbury this will provide us with a vital picture and update on the scale of flooding #FloodAware

[Mike Grimes @MikeGrimesEA]

The Environment Agency has issued a severe flood warning at Shrewsbury. Please stay safe and stay up to date https://t.co/mkD75Zz4kC

[Christian Wilcox @Chri5tianWilcox]

In the Area Duty Manager hot seat for the central area of ⁦@EnvAgencyMids⁩. Not as hectic as my amazing colleagues looking after the River Severn. With more rain forecast tonight stay safe, stay #floodaware. Check flood warnings in your area. https://t.co/LMg96FMvpO

[John Curtin @JPCurtinClimate]

At the EA we must always be scrutinised not least by communities we serve. But for those who choose to criticise from afar with little knowledge of flood remember this. EA staff are at the frontline of #ClimateChange and many will be working for the 3rd weekend in a row #BeKind

[John Curtin @JPCurtinClimate]

Dredging is often cited as the solution to flooding - but as with most things its not that simple. Read a guest blog from Alastair of @CIWEM on when it works - and when it doesn’t https://t.co/482Hk4nHbM

[James Roberts @JamesRobertsEA]

Here are two pictures that show the great work the high volume pumps are doing at #HamptonBishop #TeamEA #floodaware

[James Roberts @JamesRobertsEA]

High volume pumps starting to reduce levels in #HamptonBishop, great work from #Herefordshire Field team. #floodaware #TeamEA

[Mark Bowers @MarkBowersEA]

Low level phase 1 Frankwell flood barriers going up in Shrewsbury. Bitterly cold and wet but our Operations Teams are cracking on (haven’t heard any Christmas songs yet)!

Town centre and car parks remain open for business.

#FloodAware

[Mark Bowers @MarkBowersEA]

Just sorting my handover notes for the next duty manager. That shift has whizzed by, #proud of what the teams have done today across the patch and continue to do throughout the night. Here’s Bewdley, Severn Side North is up and tomorrow Beales Corner will be deployed. #TeamEA

[Dave Throup @DaveThroup]

#Bewdley now protected.

Town is fully open.
