Which points out that the tsunami hypothesis does not explain
simultaneous flooding in Norfolk. However, more to the point, the
commemorative plaques are two metres above sea level. The mean high
water springs at Hinkley Point are 5.0m Above Ordnance Datum (AOD). The
flood defences are 8.22m AOD, or more than three metres higher and the
1607 floods are the worst known event in the area.
