50 years on, it is still being felt. That's all from us. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Hello, I'm Shaun Peel. The Environment Agency is warning of | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
more bad weather on the way, after heavy rain caused havoc on the roads | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
today. The army helped to rescue stranded motorists in Essex and a | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
number of schools across the region were closed. The ground is already | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
saturated as the rain came in the space of just a few hours. | :00:27. | :00:36. | |
This is the playing field at a primary school, one of 15 schools | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
forced to close today in Essex. The school is very, very wet on the | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
field and there is a picnic table on the field and it is literally | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
covered in water. The centre of finishing field was submerged. Only | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
four by fours could make and in Bury Saint Edmunds, gardens and some | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
houses were flooded. The ferry service pumped them out. Water had | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
come up so quick we could not fill the sandbags quick enough to put up | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
against the doors and it was just so quick and I have never seen it come | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
up so quickly that before. Police have been urging drivers not to go | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
into deep water but many ignored the advice. Fire crews rescued an | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
84`year`old man whose is disabled. His car was stuck in a foot of | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
water. Earlier, a lorry hold another car to safety. This car bought like | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
a cork as a tractor went by. I thought he might have stopped and | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
offered a hand but he did not. He went past and the ways send me | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
bobbing across the water. Eventually, she was pulled to safety | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
by a passer`by. She was in a dangerous spot. Nobody stopped to | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
help. They just keep coming past fast, don't they? You have seen | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
them. It is terrible. Eventually, everybody stranded was rescued. | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
This region has obviously not been affected as badly as the south west | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
but earlier I asked Norman Robinson from the Environment Agency how | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
concerned he was about the situation here. I think compared to other | :02:14. | :02:22. | |
parts of the country, we have been very lucky. We are just seen the | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
back of these storms that have really battered the south`west and | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
are just working their way up South and East and really we have seen a | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
very intense rainfall event last night but a very limited one. We did | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
see half of February's rainfall fall in a very short time but we have | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
coped very well. The biggest problem we have had is that the rainfall | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
systems have struggled to get the rain away. We have seen areas where | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
we have had with significant servers water flowing. You will know that | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
the Environment Agency has that criticism another part of the agency | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
MAG country for acting too late in some instances. Could that be the | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
case here? `` parts of the country. We are confident that we know what | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
is betting on and we have issued the warning is that we need to. The | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
servers water problems were cleared away. Effectively, we are getting | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
away quite likely. Our hearts go out to anybody who has experienced | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
flooding and are looking at the south`west and trying to help them. | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
Any final advice? If you have got any concerns, give us a call. Check | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
online for the flood warnings. We think the weather is coming down was | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
about. As I say, the key thing will be to watch what happens over the | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
next week or two weeks because the ground is wet. We will keep | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
everybody will thirst and I am sure your weather forecast will let | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
everybody know what is coming. `` well versed. | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
A carer from Essex says he's been left feeling abandoned and alone | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
after the re`organisation of mental health services. He got in touch | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
with BBC Look East after we highlighted what some see as a | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
crisis in mental health care. Kim Riley reports. | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
Still shows me his wedding album. Be happy Day 43 years ago, when he | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
married Vivian, just 18. They are still together but besides a serious | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
heart condition, Vivian suffers from severe depression. She has twice | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
attempted suicide. Phil says the withdrawal last year of the | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
community psychiatric nurse who provided wonderful support to them | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
both his Lib Dem breast. It is very difficult to get her motivated to do | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
anything. She is in bed at the moment because she had a bad night. | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
It means that I am now on 24`hour suicide watch. We have been cast | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
adrift. Do you feel that the entire responsibility is on you keep your | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
wife alive? Very much so I think I put on my e`mail to you that she has | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
to be only lucky ones to achieve ends. I have to be lucky every time. | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
We raised the couple's plight with the trust running mental health | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
services in North Essex. It says being a carer can be very stressful. | :04:56. | :05:08. | |
Phil has a deep sadness for Vivian, for what she has lost, and for their | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
retirement together being so different from the one they had | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
hoped for. With their relatives hundreds of miles away, he says a | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
little more help and support would make all the difference. | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
One man's died and another's in a critical condition after a crash | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
between two cars and a lorry in Suffolk. It happened on the A140 | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
near Stuston, during the evening rush hour. The injured man has been | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge. The road's still closed | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
while police carry out an investigation. | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
A fire service sniffer dog has found another dog alive in the rubble | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
after a gas explosion in Clacton yesterday. Rex, who works for | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
Hertfordshire Fire Service, found four`year`old Carryad. She was freed | :05:46. | :05:54. | |
from the rubble and Fire crews dug her out of the rubble and she was | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
taken to the vet for a check`up. Scientists have found footprints on | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
a Norfolk beach that were probably made by a family walking on the sand | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
nearly a million years ago,. They're among the oldest footprints in the | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
world, thought to be five people including children. And the | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
scientists at Happisburgh had only days to record their find before the | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
evidence was washed away by the sea. We are obviously Homo sapiens and | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
then Neanderthals came before us. Before that was another species, | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
which we have evidence of here also. Before that, the people who made | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
these footprints, were probably a species different from that. | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
Let's take a look at the weather now with Julie. | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
Five millimetres of rain expected quite wildly but `` widely but we | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
cannot rule out more. As that rain pushes away, we should see the winds | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
easing down just a touch. Lows of around six office. A blustery start | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
to tomorrow but largely dry. Some skilful sunshine but I think as we | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
head towards the afternoon, we will start to see more showers pushing in | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
from the south`west and the wind is picking up to a strong | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
south`westerly, perhaps gale`force at times around the coasts, with | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
gusts of 60 mph. The windy end to the day with further sours banding | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
together. Some on the heavy side and those showers continuing through | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
into Sunday. In a moment, people have your national forecast. I will | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
finish with the Outlook. Further heavy showers on Sunday and | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
hopefully those strong winds eventually easing down. Hopefully | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
less windy on Monday, Hello again. Nelson's flag ship, HMS | :07:29. | :07:43. | |
victory, was launched in 1765 and you can still see it today in | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
Portsmouth Harbour. But through the whole of that history, you will | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
struggle to find a wetter winter than this one across southern | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
England. Scotland has already been in the record books. Their December | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
was the wettest since standardised records began about 100 years ago. | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
There's plenty more where that came from. Another storm is knocking on | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
the door and will affect the whole of Western Europe, steaming in from | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
the Atlantic. Giving us a steady stream of rain in most places. | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
Severe gales ahead of that rain, gusts up to 60 mph. Battering the | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
coasts once again. For the North, across the Scottish mountains yet | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
more snow. It's really piling up here at the moment. A cold night for | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
northern Scotland, elsewhere the temperature is holding up quite | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
well. Tomorrow it is wind that we have to focus on. That | :08:39. | :08:39. |
