Hello!
Yes, no sleep and kinda glad my confusion is shared. I'll be writing to FWIs.gov after this all washes through. These images show the differences. Plus river hasn't visibly risen on my last walk down there.
Levels dropping... sleep might happen after all.
Hope all stays OK there with you.

Totally agree with you confusion. We're in East Didsbury.
I have been looking at the Northenden station level all day as it broke the 3m mark. Flood defence basin was quite full already at 4pm.
When the flood warning came out at 8pm and said river level will peak at 7m I almost messed myself as an additional 4m would guarantee us flooding, big time.
I think the 7m is related to the river level at the sluice gate into the flood defences at East Didsbury and is the same as the Didsbury level on river levels.uk.
Seems, fingers crossed, that peak maybe now, looking at Northenden levels. Not much rise over last hour.
Had a knock from police in last ten mins advising us to evacuate but also saying we should be ok to stay put. A few streets away they're saying strongly advising people to leave.
No sleep tonight.
