Here's John Hammond. That's all from | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Hello and welcome to a new week on Look East with Susie and me. | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
The headlines tonight from Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex: | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
Thunderstorms, lightning strike and flash floods leave a trail | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
We tell the story with your pictures: | :00:17. | :00:25. | |
Three of those were grand ads, that is 20 years old. I know it's silly, | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
people think they're just fhsh. The Suffolk MP facing fresh calls | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
to stand down after his police A new Lakenheath, as tension mounts | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
in the world's troublespots. And from Colchester school | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
boy to pop pioneer. Stay with us for a Latitude | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
special with Damon Albarn. First tonight, after the weekend | :00:49. | :01:04. | |
storms, the big clean`up opdration. Hundreds of homes and businesses | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
were flooded as parts of thd region Forecasters had warned | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
of severe electrical storms, two families were left homeless | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
after lightning strikes. In just a few hours, from three | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
o'clock yesterday afternoon, Norfolk Torrential rain caused | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
flash`flooding in parts of Norwich, By contrast Suffolk fire | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
service received 43 callls. Only 5 were flood`related as much of | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
the county escaped the downpours. The worst affected area was | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
Canvey Island in Essex. As water levels there rose, | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
the county's fire crews received So, let's start in Canvey Island, | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
where the pumping and rescue operations were still going on into | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
the early hours of this morning Lets go live to | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
our Essex reporter Gareth George. I'm on the sea wall here, that is | :01:59. | :02:16. | |
the Thames estuary. The isl`nd is about the same level as the water, | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
that is why the wall was buhlt. In that is why the wall was built. In | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
this direction, you can see how flat Canvey Island is. That was one of | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
the problems yesterday, the water collected in effectively a huge | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
bowl. What about the problel worse is that the trains weren't working. | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
There was little shelter from this storm. These pictures show the | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
deluge at its most intense. Two inches of rain in one hour. This man | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
was carrying his mother's wdt inches of rain in one hour. This man | :02:50. | :02:50. | |
was carrying his mother's wet carpet outside. I was crying, I cotld see | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
all the water coming into the house, I was terrified. How much | :02:58. | :03:05. | |
damage done? I have lost evdrything. Lined up on a patio at nearby, | :03:06. | :03:11. | |

This is one of the pumping stations here, authorities say the pumps were | :03:48. | :03:48. | |
here, authorities say the ptmps were working, although they were out for | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
12 minutes after a lightning strike on the power supply. The pumps | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
on the power supply. The pulps taking the water out to sea weren't | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
the problem. It was the agehng the problem. It was the ageing | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
drains taking the water to the pumps, they couldn't cope. The | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
island's MP says they need renewing before there is more building here. | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
We have to stop building hotses We have to stop building houses | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
without the infrastructure. If this doesn't make it clear, nothhng will. | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
doesn't make it clear, nothing will. On a sea wall, a sea wall, `miable, | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
On a sea wall, a sea wall, amiable, showing the tragic story of floods | :04:20. | :04:36. | |
in the past. `` amiable. Here is a mural, what happened today is not | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
comparable to 1953, but it has brought flooding back into view. | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
Essex County Council told us that the library was flooded here, and it | :04:52. | :04:52. | |
is still close. Late this afternoon I spoke to | :04:53. | :05:02. | |
Dr Charles Beardall from the Environment Agency | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
and started by asking if the pumps could have coped if | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
there had not been a power failure. This was very heavy rainfall that | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
completely overwhelmed the surface Canvey Island is surrounded | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
by a sea wall, all the water that falls on the ground has to be pumped | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
over the sea wall into the sea. We have five very large pumps that | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
do that, the issue is getting This was a huge downfall | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
in a very short space of tile. It overwhelmed the | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
the surface water system, which The power outage itself was only | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
for a short period of time. As soon as the power came back, | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
our pumps kicked in and did What you are saying is that you | :05:35. | :05:47. | |
don't have enough pumps for this weather? No, the issue is that when | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
the rain falls onto roads and pavements, it takes a while to get | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
through the drainage system into the main river, which we operatd. Then | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
from the river into the big pub is on the outside of the island. `` the | :06:06. | :06:14. | |

improve the system, to make sure that when the waterfalls, it gets to | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
the main system quicker. In the past, we have said that these events | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
are very rare, but they seel past, we have said that these events | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
are very rare, but they seem to be becoming more common, we nedd to | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
find an answer quickly. Yes, we do, they are becoming more common. We | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
are working hard to see how we can improve the system. We spent ?5 | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
million upgrading these pumps in 2006, they are very large capacity | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
2006, they are very large c`pacity pumps that can move a lot of water. | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
None of this will be a lot of consolation for people who live on | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
Canvey Island. Of course, flooding in any circumstances awful. Our | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
sympathy does go out to those properties that would flood them. We | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
are working as hard as we can properties that would flood them. We | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
are working as hard as we c`n to improve the system, with our | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
partners. This was a very extreme amount of rain to fall in a very | :07:16. | :07:17. | |

won't ever manage to get that amount won't ever manage to get th`t amount | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
of water off quickly, irrespective of the amount of money we invest. | :07:34. | :07:52. | |
Thank you very much. The warmer it is, the more moisture air can hold. | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
These thunderstorms can grow to thousands of feet high in the | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
atmosphere, that means a lot of water can be held up in the air. | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
That'll all come down as thd That'll all come down as thd | :08:06. | :08:13. | |
happens. That'll end up in flooding. There was hardly any wind ydsterday, | :08:14. | :08:14. | |
There was hardly any wind yesterday, so the storms are barely moved at | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
all. I will show you a radar image later. | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
And we'll have more on the storms later, | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
New attractions have been added to next month's Clacton Air Show. | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
They include a World War Two Spitfire fighter, an aerobatic | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
They'll be joining the Red @rrows and the Battle | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
The Air Show is seen as a major boost to the loc`l | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
economy, it brings an estim`ted ?4 million into the district. | :08:38. | :08:45. | |
Despite an increasing number of calls for him to stand down, | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
the MP for Bury St Edmunds has been keeping a very low profile today. | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
Today a senior figure in thd church and a charity which deals with | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
domestic violence joined in, saying David Ruffley should stand down. | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
It follows a police caution following | :08:58. | :08:58. | |
It has been four months since he received a police caution, but still | :08:59. | :09:13. | |
no comment or explanation. It is no comment or explanation. It is | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
widely reported that an incident involved an ex`girlfriend. Today at | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
a meeting of Sussex domestic violence partnership, his c`ution | :09:23. | :09:30. | |
was on the agenda. He is a part of a government which has stood firmly | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
against domestic abuse. Under government which has stood firmly | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
against domestic abuse. Unddr those against domestic abuse. Under those | :09:35. | :09:35. | |
circumstances, he really must consider his position. The Dean of | :09:36. | :09:45. | |
Saint Edmunds, has written to him to ask him to consider his position. | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
Last week, the Conservative Association said the matter had been | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
dealt with. He declined to comment and the Conservative Association | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
hasn't returned our calls. A meeting has been brought forward to July 31, | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
it is expected he will answdr questions about what happened | :10:08. | :10:07. | |

questions about what happendd then. The lack of science has prompted the | :10:17. | :10:17. | |
former chairman of the association to speak out. He has been given | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
former chairman of the association to speak out. He has been ghven a | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
caution which he accepted, but nothing has been said after that. I | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
think that is not only sad, but it places a considerable onus onto him. | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
In Bury Saint Edmunds today, some of Ruffley's constituents were asking | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
questions. It puts him in a difficult situation, I think he | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
should stand down. He is a public figure, it is in the public interest | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
to know where he stands. Th`t is figure, it is in the public interest | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
to know where he stands. That is the to know where he stands. Th`t is the | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
frustration, no one knows when David Ruffley stands on the issue of his | :11:01. | :11:01. | |
caution. Still to come tonight, | :11:02. | :11:09. | |

in Ukraine, 48 Fighter Wing is once again on | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
a 'heightened state of awardness'. Today it welcomed a new commander. | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
Robert Novotny told Look East that his aircrews provide 'striking | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
power and defence capabilitx' and if the call comes they'll bd | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
prepared. At 9:36am today, this fightdr pilot | :11:52. | :12:11. | |
takes command of the unit. Looking on, military top brass and locals | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
dignitaries. As a poet of the job, Robert Lovotny also get a | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
personalised number plate. His wife will dine out on that one. @s they | :12:23. | :12:28. | |

Robert Lovotny surveys the troops and helicopters which will be under | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
his command. This is my absolutely number one choice. It is a great | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
leap forward, there is a lot of great things going on. I am thrilled | :12:48. | :12:55. | |
to death to be chosen. RAF Lakenheath may be cocooned hn the | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
countryside, but it is at the forefront of action is all over the | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
world. Its troops are still in Afghanistan. This is RAF | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
Lakenheath's chief asset. Ahr Lakenheath's chief asset. Ahr | :13:09. | :13:11. | |

the point in a exercise in Eastern Europe. I know that we are watching | :13:28. | :13:36. | |
that, I know that all of our national allies are watching that, | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
if the call comes, we will be prepared. As Washington cuts in | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
defence spending, a recent report cast doubts over RAF Lakenhdath | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
future. This post is relevant because we provide the striking | :13:54. | :13:54. | |
power and defence capabilitx. because we provide the striking | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
power and defence capability. All power and defence capabilitx. All | :13:59. | :14:00. | |
the other bases are phenomenal, but this is where the striking power | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
comes from. After a singalong, the outgoing colonel and his wife, head | :14:09. | :14:11. | |

Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, which start on Wednesday. Tonight, | :14:22. | :14:23. | |
we turn to gymnastics. Two names dominate the sport | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
Louis Smith from Huntingdon and Max Whitlock from Essex. | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
Over the last ten years they have I love training, I love competing, | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
I love doing what I'm doing. My first senior competition was | :14:32. | :14:46. | |
the Commonwealth Games in Ddlhi 2010, that was | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
a massive experience for me. Lewis and Max, history makers, | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
ready for their next assignment You have to remember, | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
when you are at the Commonwealth Games, at a multisport | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
event, you are there to do ` job. As much | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
as it is great to socialise and catch up, we are there to do a job, | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
which is hopefully beat the Scots. Comebacks can go either way, but | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
the smart money is on Lewis to medal But there is the small matter | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
of Max, Whitlock, who, in Lewis's two`year absence rode a | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
stormer, he is now the man to beat. Hopefully, I will make the final, | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
I'm hoping for everyone to go out Lewis and Max's horse back battle is | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
one of the highlights of the Commonwealth Games, but first | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
things first, the team competition. The old enemy, | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
featuring Huntington's Danidl It'll be a fun competition | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
in Scotland. A bit of pressure, a bit of banter | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
rights coming away from this. Two years ago in London, | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
Max and Lewis helped Britain win their first Olympic team medal | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
in a hundred years. For Max, the pressure was off, | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
but Lewis had the weight The poster boy had to deliver, | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
and he did. The competition for Lewis and Max | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
starts a week today. England versus Scotland, | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
Max versus Lewis. The main feature, the subplot, | :16:20. | :16:28. | |
the Commonwealth is watching. When you think about the | :16:29. | :16:38. | |
First World War, as we are this year, you tend to think about | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
the trenches on the Western Front. But 100 years ago things were | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
changing, a full`scale war was More than 50,000 planes werd made | :16:45. | :16:46. | |
in Britain during the war. Only ten are still flying, and five | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
of those are based in our rdgion. They're at the Shuttleworth | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
Collection in Bedfordshire, It's the biggest collection | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
of airworthy World War I aircraft These are the planes that | :16:59. | :17:08. | |
the ace pilots used to win It has just been discovered that | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
this one, the SE5a, shot down a German plane over Belgium | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
on the very last day of the war Early in the war, planes were mainly | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
used for reconnaissance, When the German Fokke planes started | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
to get the upper hand, it w`s time I think more significant was just | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
how raw the pilots were To demonstrate their abilitx, they | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
just had to do a couple of figure The SE5, Scout Experimental Five, | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
gave us a little turn over Bedfordshire, to prove it can still | :17:51. | :18:07. | |
cut it in a dogfight. It is one of the better First World | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
War aeroplanes, it is stabld and has a 200 horespower engine, | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
so its rate of climb is good. It is a straightforward aeroplane, | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
anybody who has flown a Tigdr Moth The pilots who flew these planes | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
were pioneers, brave men, no parachutes, | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
just a pistol to shoot themseleves This plane, along with | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
its hangar mate, the Sopwith Camel, gave the skies to the Allies | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
in the last 18 months of the war. Today, it is more than 100 years | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
old, but it was still as nilble The Latitude crowds have been making | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
their way home today after `nother festival at Henham Park in Suffolk. | :18:55. | :19:06. | |
Lily Allen topped the bill on Friday and on Saturday, Damon Albarn | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
took to the stage. The former Blur front man grew up in | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
Colchester. He has been touring Europe and will be heading off to | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
Japan and Australia later this year. He spoke to our entertainment | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
reporter, Dawn Gerber, about why he chose Latitude for his first solo | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
performance in the UK: He's a front man of worth, then came | :19:23. | :19:40. | |
the gorillas, followed by the good, the bad and the Queen. Now he is | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
going it alone with his first solo album. He has chosen latitude to be | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
his first UK festival to perform it. They offered me the slot I've got | :19:50. | :19:51. | |
based on me playing my record. I thought that was very brave | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
of them, so, you know, But for a festival, | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
it is quite a risky thing to play. But Latitude is the kind | :20:01. | :20:09. | |
of festival... I'm not just playing that rdcord, | :20:10. | :20:11. | |
but that is why I chose it. This is a local good really. Would | :20:12. | :20:27. | |
you say it is a homecoming? If they had this when I was a kid, H would | :20:28. | :20:29. | |
had this when I was a kid, I would definitely have been here. H | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
definitely have been here. I would've got the up to Ipswhch and | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
would've got the up to Ipswich and then I would have cycled. Would you | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
say this is a very personal, revealing album? You touch on your | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
childhood in Leytonstone and in Essex as well. It starts in 197 , | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
Essex as well. It starts in 1976, comes up to East Anglia in 0979 | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
comes up to East Anglia in 1979, leaves again in 1986 and just goes | :21:00. | :21:11. | |
all over the place. It is very specific to experiences I h`ve had. | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
specific to experiences I have had. Everything but is written about | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
happened. `` everything that is written about. Even if it was, the | :21:22. | :21:34. | |
listener always has their own take, determined by their feeling and | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
where they were at a moment. It is autobiographical. It is an eclectic | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
autobiographical. It is an dclectic sound this album, you have steel | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
pans, gospel music, string sections, was it important to bring those | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
influences to the album? Thdy are actually here, the London city | :21:55. | :21:55. | |
actually here, the London chty Mission choir are here. It's the | :21:56. | :22:05. | |
biggest thing they have ever done. And Will we see him back fronting | :22:06. | :22:14. | |
blur? I'm sure one day I will. He also said he grew up watching this | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
show, it was an accolade. Any time Damon. | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
Right, let's go back to the weather and the storms this weekend. | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
Lots of people have spent the day mopping up. | :22:29. | :22:30. | |
The spectacular lightning strikes prompted many of you to capture | :22:31. | :22:32. | |
Chris Bell is here with this week's weather in a moment. | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
Before that, Debbie Tubby looks back at a weekend | :22:37. | :22:38. | |
Mother nature started showing its full force on Friday night with | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
a lightning strike. Leaving a house destroyed | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
and the family homeless. The mother and daughter escaped | :22:46. | :22:46. | |
The mother and daughter esc`ped in their pyjamas, | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
the father looked on in disbelief. It has made me petrified th`t | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
It has made me petrified that if we have another storm, | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
it could happen again. It shows the strength of nature. | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
They say lightning never strikes twice, but it did. | :22:59. | :22:59. | |
Six hours later, another hole Six hours later, another home | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
destroyed, another family homeless. I didn't know what to think, I got | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
up, shot out of bed and as soon as I saw that fire, my first thought was | :23:11. | :23:12. | |
saw that fire, my first thotght was get everybody out the house. | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
This footage was taken over Bedfordshire on Friday night. | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
You have sent us your photos of the lightning, | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
seen in most parts of the rdgion. This BBC weather map shows | :23:23. | :23:25. | |

filmed this over Colchester. Dramatic shots, | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
thankfully no drastic damagd. It was the calm before the storm. | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
This is Sunday afternoon, the heavens opened, within minutes, | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
there was chaos. Carol and her son became stranded | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
in Norwich. It was torrential, it is wh`t I | :23:50. | :23:50. | |
It was torrential, it is what I imagine a monsoon is like. | :23:51. | :23:55. | |

As fast as it arrived, the rain water disappeared. | :23:58. | :24:07. | |
The resuscitation unit at Southend Hospital's A department | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
had to close after it was flooded with two inches of water. I think | :24:12. | :24:20. | |
All rail lines between Southend Victoria and London were | :24:21. | :24:22. | |
blocked as the lightning damaged blocked as the lightning dalaged | :24:23. | :24:24. | |
the signalling system. We had to close a school for today, | :24:25. | :24:34. | |
it was ankle`deep at 8pm last night. It wasn't looking like we would get | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
cleaned up for today. Dramatic to see, devastating to be affected. | :24:41. | :24:49. | |
