Severe weather as a result of high tides, strong winds and a belt of low pressure has lashed the Island once again.
High tide at just after 1130 brought large waves crashing over sea walls along the Island's east coast, bringing debris onto promenades and coastal walkways.
But there has been no flooding on this occasion of inner harbours in Douglas, Ramsey and Castletown.
Residents in at-risk exposed coastal areas have been sandbagging their properties for the second time in less than a month.
Some key routes are closed including the Mountain Road, and buses using promenades in Laxey, Douglas, Ramsey and south of Castletown have been diverted.
However the situation on Saturday is forecast to be significantly worse, with tides higher than those which caused widespread damage and flooding on 3 January.
Early indications from the Met Office suggest the spring tide on Saturday at 1218, could be in the range of 8.4 - 8.5 metres.
Many residents whose homes and businesses flooded last time are urged to prepare for a second deluge.
The Water and Sewerage Authority has produced a set of maps showing areas in towns and villages around the Island where flooding is forecast.
