Reporting from Jaywick, Sky News Correspondent Enda Brady said residents had been left “nonplussed” by the flood warning.
 
“They say they have heard it all before, that there was this evacuation warning given four years ago and absolutely nothing came to pass back then,” he said.
 
“They’ve said they are quite prepared to stay put.”
 
Rebecca Kenny, 31, said she would stay in Jaywick “unless things get drastically worse” because she had “a big fear of crime”.

Essex Police has also called on residents in Mistley and West Mersea to leave their homes.
 
Chief Inspector Russ Cole said: “Latest forecasting tells us that risk has moved to the next high tide expected just after midnight.
 
“That threat has led to a severe flood warning being put in place for tonight’s high tide.”
