In the aftermath of Storm Doris, for the news where you are. | :00:07. | :00:14. | |
engineers have spent the day reconnecting electricity supplies | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
to 30,000 homes and trees have been cleared | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
At its peak, winds reached speeds of up | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
Some companies say they lost thousands of pounds | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
as traffic on roads in Suffolk ground to a halt. | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
Tonight 2,500 homes are still without power. | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
The orange army of Network Rail, felling trees which threaten to | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
The work stopping all trains running between Norwich and Sheringham. | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
Winds of more than 70 miles an hour left country lanes strewn with | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
branches and thousands of homes without electricity. | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
Our intent is to get as many of those customers back on | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
supply tonight, because we recognise how difficult it is to be without | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
I really do think there will be some, because of the complexity of | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
the repair or just because we might make a lot of noise and disruption | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
trying to do the work, that we'll come | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
In Thetford this dump is what's left of a tree which fell onto a house. | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
Another came down in a courtyard between homes and this couple from | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
Great Horkesley in Essex had a lucky escape when this one fell | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
I didn't brake because I didn't have time. | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
I got out of the car, looked behind me and the whole | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
tree was behind me with these great branches. | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
This great big trunk just lay behind the car! | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
Half a second later, a few feet, and it would have been on top of us. | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
A tenant of a block of flats in Colchester | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
recorded the moment debris showered down from this flat roof. | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
It is hoped residents will be allowed to return this | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
And Suffolk police have been overwhelmed with calls. | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
We have dealt with over 800 999 calls | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
and then on top of that nearly 500 101 calls. | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
Businesses have been counting the cost of the storm, the | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
closure of the Orwell Bridge in Suffolk meant the diverted traffic | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Yesterday it was just a sea of red around the Ipswich area, the red | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
This freight company had 30 lorries delayed | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
or off the road, a loss of | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
You just see the driver sitting there and you | :02:32. | :02:40. | |
check the tracker again half an hour later and they have moved | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
a few hundred yards, if a mile, if at all. | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
Unable to reverse or turn around, this bus had | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
to wait two hours while power lines across the road were made safe | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
A charity which has helped hundreds of stroke survivors | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
is having to close a local branch because it's lost funding. | :03:03. | :03:12. | |
The Stroke Association supports people in their own homes. | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
Health commissioners say they can no longer afford the service. | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
This from our Health Reporter Nikki Fox. | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
Ken Mason lives alone on a caravan park near Great Yarmouth. | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
Now retired, he used to DJ on the site. | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
In the run-up to a New Year's Eve gig, he had a stroke. | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
Mr Mason was helped by the Stroke Association and says | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
If you wanted a cup of tea, you couldn't lift the kettle. | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
And then the next thing comes into your mind, how will I cope? | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
If Nick hadn't turned up the following day, | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
I think within a week or so I'd have ended up either dead or in hospital. | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
Nick is an outreach worker in Yarmouth and Waveney. | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Because Mr Mason couldn't work, the charity paid for his heating, | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
provided food vouchers and arranged benefits. | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
It is disappointed it can't be funded. | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
We know there are issues up and down the country | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
But the solution I suggest is not salami slicing, | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
not cutting off bits and pieces here and there, but maybe something | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
Engage with us, talk to us and talk to stroke | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
My understanding is they haven't been asked what they want. | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
The Great Yarmouth and Waveney Clinical Commissioning Group | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
which pays for the service declined an interview. | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
It says the charity signposts people to information, and doesn't | :04:31. | :04:48. | |
Of course, they went, and I was back to square one. | :04:49. | :05:03. | |
The health workers helped me with the physical side of it, | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
trying to get some movement back into my arms and legs. | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
But they really couldn't help me with the mental side of it. | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
I was just destitute really, when you think about it. | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
Health bosses say they haven't taken the decision to cut funding lightly. | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
But Mr Mason is worried, with the outreach workers | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
going in April, people could be left to fend for themselves. | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
Norwich City and Ipswich Town go head to head on Sunday | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
The Canaries have won the last seven. | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
With Ipswich's last win eight years ago. | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
That said, both clubs have been in decent form. | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
Norwich go into it in 8th place, seven points off the play-offs. | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
Ipswich are down in 13th, so the points for them | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
are perhaps less important than the bragging rights. | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
If they've got to have any chance of getting the points, seven points | :05:49. | :05:56. | |
They pretty much are going to have to win a load of games. | :05:57. | :06:06. | |
It's going to have to be starting with us on Sunday, | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
We'll do our darnedest to stop them, of course. | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
But equally we have been in good form at home. | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
And I would expect us to go and attack the match | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
and hopefully, come away with the points. | :06:22. | :06:22. | |
The East Anglian Derby kicks off at midday at Carrow Road. | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
Delays around the ground are expected. | :06:26. | :06:26. | |
on both BBC Radio Norfolk and BBC Radio Suffolk. | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
That's how the region is looking tonight. | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
We're back tomorrow with our Saturday bulletin | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
There's just time to leave you with the weekend | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
Hello, after a dry and chilly start to the night we will see rain | :06:41. | :06:54. | |
increasing. As it happens temperatures should rise, initially | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
three Celsius, closer to five when the rain comes and it should get | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
windy so a blustery day tomorrow. Early rain should quickly clear, | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
becoming drier and brighter for some time before more rain comes from the | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
north-west. If we get sunshine coming through temperatures may get | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
a couple of degrees higher than these values but a strong, | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
occasionally fresh wind so it's a windy end to the day, cloudy with | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
bits and pieces of rain. In a moment the National forecast. I will leave | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
you with the outlook, perhaps early rain on Sunday, largely fine and | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
few days it is that the stay miles. Outbreaks of rain at times | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
particularly as we head into Monday. A much calmer day today after the | :07:33. | :07:45. | |
nasty storm yesterday. Let's look at your pictures, tranquil from | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
Hampshire, on the edge of the new Forest. Nice cumulus clouds from | :07:49. | :07:57. | |
Hartlepool. Still a bit stormy, that sea. We are starting to | :07:58. | :07:59. |
