Good evening, I'm Shaun Peel. Chinese cheque-books.

:00:10.:00:12.

Hundreds of people have returned to their homes after widespread

:00:13.:00:15.

The storm surge made its way down the coasts of Norfolk,

:00:16.:00:26.

Suffolk and Essex early this morning, but the sea defences held

:00:27.:00:29.

People were removing sandbags in Great Yarmouth today.

:00:30.:00:33.

In the end, they just weren't needed.

:00:34.:00:34.

I was concerned that there was going to be disruption

:00:35.:00:37.

but I wasn't concerned for my personal safety.

:00:38.:00:39.

Though I did park my car on one of the highest spots in Yarmouth,

:00:40.:00:42.

which I believe is about eight feet above sea level.

:00:43.:00:45.

6000 homes should have been evacuated in the town,

:00:46.:00:49.

although thousands of people ignored the official advice.

:00:50.:00:53.

But even with this surge, the high tide was a foot below

:00:54.:00:56.

We took the appropriate action given the forecast and the predictions.

:00:57.:01:01.

You know, we've got very good coastal flood defences.

:01:02.:01:03.

These will have protected about 500,000 properties down the east

:01:04.:01:06.

Down into Suffolk, Felixstowe Ferry was braced for the worst.

:01:07.:01:16.

High tide there was half-past midnight but, again, no flood.

:01:17.:01:23.

The relief of the water not coming in, you can't

:01:24.:01:25.

The police have done a fantastic job because the last time

:01:26.:01:33.

we got flooded here, which was three years ago, we had

:01:34.:01:35.

masses of cars came down. People just coming to have a look.

:01:36.:01:41.

This morning, the sea at Jaywick in Essex was calm.

:01:42.:01:43.

No sign there had been any threat from the waves.

:01:44.:01:46.

They were packing up at the local reception centre where around

:01:47.:01:48.

Jaywick was one of the highest risk areas along the east coast,

:01:49.:01:56.

with a heavy presence last night from police, fire

:01:57.:01:58.

They deserve a medal for what they have done.

:01:59.:02:05.

We popped out yesterday and because they couldn't get a hold

:02:06.:02:12.

of us, they came back round to make sure we was all right.

:02:13.:02:15.

I mean, I am only one person out of thousands.

:02:16.:02:18.

Although widespread flooding didn't happen overnight,

:02:19.:02:19.

the East Anglian coast still took a battering.

:02:20.:02:22.

Hundreds of coastal communities will be feeling very relieved.

:02:23.:02:29.

A man in his 50s has died at Thorpeness in Suffolk

:02:30.:02:34.

after he was trapped under a cliff which had collapsed.

:02:35.:02:38.

A major rescue operation was launched to try to free the man.

:02:39.:02:41.

Emergency crews tried to treat him but he died at the scene.

:02:42.:02:44.

Football now, and in the Championship, Ipswich beat

:02:45.:02:47.

Blackburn 3-2 including a brace for Tom Lawrence which leaves Town

:02:48.:02:53.

in 14th, and Norwich are eight points short

:02:54.:02:55.

of the play-offs after losing 2-1 at Rotherham.

:02:56.:02:57.

Norwich had Oliviera sent off after 18 minutes

:02:58.:02:59.

In League One, Peterborough were buried by Bury 5-1,

:03:00.:03:04.

Northampton lost 2-1 at home to Scunthorpe, MK Dons

:03:05.:03:12.

at Port Vale was postponed, frozen pitch there,

:03:13.:03:14.

Simon Cox with the winner three minutes into stoppage time to leave

:03:15.:03:20.

In Two, Cambridge v Blackpool ended goalless, Luton in 6th with ten

:03:21.:03:25.

men won 2-1 at Crewe, Colchester in seventh drew

:03:26.:03:27.

1-1 at Newport County, and Stevenage lost 4-2 at Plymouth.

:03:28.:03:32.

Onto rugby, and Northampton Saints beat Castresin the European

:03:33.:03:34.

It was academic for Saints, who are bottom of the pool,

:03:35.:03:39.

but shows improving form with their fourth win on the bounce.

:03:40.:03:43.

Tries from Myler, Wood and two from Harrison all converted

:03:44.:03:45.

And in the British and Irish Cup, Bedford went down at home

:03:46.:03:51.

And let's get the weather now with Kate Kinsella.

:03:52.:03:58.

For some lucky ones we've had blue sky and sunshine today, for others,

:03:59.:04:02.

Also a little bit of rain as well and overnight that runs the risk

:04:03.:04:06.

of freezing and the Met office has a yellow weather warning in place

:04:07.:04:10.

for further snow showers, particularly towards the east

:04:11.:04:12.

of the region but also for ice as well.

:04:13.:04:14.

As the temperature drops down to zero, maybe

:04:15.:04:16.

Those snow showers continue, though, coming down from the North Sea,

:04:17.:04:19.

hitting the east and north coast of Norfolk, also through Suffolk

:04:20.:04:22.

as well and then more cloud moving in towards the end

:04:23.:04:25.

Minimum temperatures, as I mentioned, down to around zero.

:04:26.:04:28.

Now that rain is going to push through tomorrow morning.

:04:29.:04:30.

It could - for some, at least, the further east you are -

:04:31.:04:34.

turn wintry, we could have some snowfall but then it will turn

:04:35.:04:36.

back to rain as some more mild air moves in.

:04:37.:04:40.

Some of us staying pretty chilly tomorrow.

:04:41.:04:43.

One or two Celsius. Others up at six or seven.

:04:44.:04:46.

So slightly more settled weather for next week but it's still cold.

:04:47.:04:55.

That it, we'll have more tomorrow at 6:20pm, have a good night, bye-bye.

:04:56.:05:13.

Getting the detail of this cold snap is proving to be challenging and

:05:14.:05:19.

will continue to be so over the next 24 hours. Ice around across eastern

:05:20.:05:22.

parts after the earlier showers then rain pushing in from Northern

:05:23.:05:27.

Ireland across Scotland and a period of snow across eastern Scotland

:05:28.:05:32.

temporarily. It will extend into northern Wales and England too. A

:05:33.:05:39.

chilly night across the East, much milder. Tomorrow, everything nudges

:05:40.:05:41.
