"Dominic, start working on more wall. The wind is going to push waves up over what we have, and then we're at risk for a breach. Add to the whole wall, from the base up, so we don't end up with a weak spot."
"Not enough time for that. How about we just reinforce what's on top of the old wall?"
"Do it. Double the thickness and add another two metres. That should keep most of the water out."
Lightning began to crackle, lighting up the increasingly dim skies, while the clouds began to give off an eerie green glow.
"Well, that's new." Dominic muttered as he worked his way around the estate from the upwind side first.
