The headlines from BBC Look North this Thursday night.

:00:00.:00:00.

Soldiers tell homeowners to prepare for flooding as the East Coast

:00:07.:00:11.

And after the last flood, I had a couple of strokes.

:00:12.:00:17.

We are doing everything that we can to make sure

:00:18.:00:22.

that we are prepared and that the local

:00:23.:00:24.

He was the Lincoln boss who went on to the biggest job

:00:25.:00:30.

in the English game - tributes tonight to Graham Taylor.

:00:31.:00:39.

What Graham did was to connect the football club and the community.

:00:40.:00:44.

And some pretty severe weather to come over the next 24 hours.

:00:45.:00:47.

Stay tuned, I will have a full forecast shortly.

:00:48.:01:07.

Soldiers have spent tonight knocking on doors telling homeowners

:01:08.:01:09.

A combination of strong winds and high tides could bring

:01:10.:01:12.

widespread flooding all along the East Coast.

:01:13.:01:14.

Thousands of properties could be affected from Bridlington to Boston.

:01:15.:01:17.

Some schools have said they'll be shut tomorrow

:01:18.:01:18.

as the authorities do all they can to protect coastal communities.

:01:19.:01:22.

Jill Archbold is live in Hull tonight.

:01:23.:01:26.

The tidal barrier might be up now, but it has already been down once

:01:27.:01:41.

this evening, and it is likely to be lowered again, at least another

:01:42.:01:46.

twice in the next 24 hours. It's not just people in Hull who will be

:01:47.:01:47.

watching the weather carefully. There are 27 flood warnings

:01:48.:01:49.

across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire covering high tide

:01:50.:01:51.

tomorrow morning A warning means that

:01:52.:01:53.

flooding is expected. There are two warnings covering

:01:54.:01:56.

the sea defences at Humberston and Cleethorpes, another

:01:57.:02:02.

warning for Immingham. Then if we look at the Humber

:02:03.:02:04.

Estuary on the North Bank A further two cover the coast

:02:05.:02:06.

at Bridlington and then the Easington and Kilnsea area

:02:07.:02:11.

is also at risk. The River Ouse is covered by four

:02:12.:02:16.

warnings and then there's one at Grimsby and three covering

:02:17.:02:19.

the South Bank at Winteringham, South Ferriby, New Holland

:02:20.:02:23.

and Barton to Immingham Dock. There are a further seven flood

:02:24.:02:27.

warnings in Lincolnshire six for the sea defences both north

:02:28.:02:30.

and south of Mablethorpe Because of these warnings,

:02:31.:02:42.

precautions have been taken right across our region.

:02:43.:02:45.

Along Lincolnshire's coast, the threat of a storm surge led

:02:46.:02:47.

Soldiers deployed to Skegness to help the police by knocking

:02:48.:02:53.

on doors and tonight warning residents of the risks.

:02:54.:02:55.

They've asked for our assistance in warning and informing the local

:02:56.:02:58.

And the residents, to ensure that they are prepared for the flooding.

:02:59.:03:06.

If it does arise, that they've got somewhere to go.

:03:07.:03:09.

And if they are vulnerable and need our assistance,

:03:10.:03:14.

that we are prepared to give it to them.

:03:15.:03:16.

Thousands of people living near the east coast are being given

:03:17.:03:19.

the option of being evacuated to an inland rest centre.

:03:20.:03:21.

If you are in a single story dwelling, a caravan or a chalet

:03:22.:03:24.

and you are close to the sea defences, you might want to think

:03:25.:03:27.

about spending the evening, or perhaps the next couple

:03:28.:03:30.

On the Humber bank at South Ferriby, the Environment Agency have put up

:03:31.:03:35.

temporary defences and local residents were moving

:03:36.:03:38.

And after the last flood, I had a couple of strokes.

:03:39.:03:46.

It's just, it's stuff that we've got a lot of memories about.

:03:47.:03:53.

And we saved it last time, a lot of it.

:03:54.:03:55.

On the North bank, water pumps were on stand-by and residents who'd

:03:56.:04:02.

been flooded before put up their own defences.

:04:03.:04:06.

But now that the weather has settled down, I don't feel as though

:04:07.:04:12.

Because when it was really windy, it which the waves up.

:04:13.:04:17.

I think they have been overcautious now.

:04:18.:04:19.

But then, part of me's saying, "Are they?"

:04:20.:04:23.

East coast communities and those living near the Humber have been

:04:24.:04:25.

told to be prepared - it's believed a high tide tomorrow

:04:26.:04:28.

evening currently poses the greatest threat.

:04:29.:04:36.

water pumps have been on stand-by. water pumps have been on stand-by.

:04:37.:04:44.

Vulnerable points at the north bank. They'll be back in the early morning

:04:45.:04:48.

and back again for high tide tomorrow

:04:49.:04:49.

Ben Hocking is from the Environment Agency and joins me now

:04:50.:04:54.

Good evening. How concerned are you about the next 24 hours? Good

:04:55.:05:03.

evening. As your colleague's just been explaining, we have a large

:05:04.:05:07.

number of flood warnings across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. And

:05:08.:05:10.

flood warning means that there is an immediate risk of flooding, so we're

:05:11.:05:14.

really keen for people to heed those warnings. If they want to see which

:05:15.:05:18.

areas they are in, whether they might be affected by one of those

:05:19.:05:23.

warnings, they can visit their website and type in the flood, that

:05:24.:05:26.

will give them all the information they need on the government website.

:05:27.:05:29.

People will be worried we could see a repeat of 2013. Are you sure that

:05:30.:05:38.

we couldn't be again tomorrow? We have been preparing for the

:05:39.:05:41.

potential for flooding since Monday this week, when the forecast

:05:42.:05:45.

indicated that this was a possibility. And we've been working

:05:46.:05:49.

really hard with our partners in local authorities, the emergency

:05:50.:05:52.

services, and as you have reported, the Lib military, to the best job we

:05:53.:05:57.

can warning people. I accept that -- the military. How sure are you that

:05:58.:06:03.

it is not going to be like 2013? Well, we think that there's less of

:06:04.:06:09.

a risk of that happening this time around. But obviously, we want

:06:10.:06:12.

people to take all the precautions that they can to protect themselves

:06:13.:06:16.

and their property from risk of this. That is quite telling. If

:06:17.:06:21.

there isn't a problem of high tide at the morning, it does that mean it

:06:22.:06:26.

wouldn't be at tea-time? It could be was in the afternoon. Tidal peaks

:06:27.:06:31.

come twice a day, so the tidal barrier at Hull was close this

:06:32.:06:34.

evening and will be closed again for high tide in the morning. And a

:06:35.:06:38.

tomorrow evening. Certainly, we're focusing at the moment on that high

:06:39.:06:43.

tide tomorrow morning. But there'll be another high tide that could also

:06:44.:06:46.

be affected by that storm surge to my evening as well. So people do

:06:47.:06:51.

need to across those flood warnings. Thank you much indeed. Most grateful

:06:52.:06:52.

to you. Keep up to date on all the latest

of football have been paying tribute to the former Lincoln City

:07:09.:07:10.

and England manager Graham Taylor, He grew up in Scunthorpe and then

:07:11.:07:13.

spent his whole playing career in Lincolnshire -

:07:14.:07:23.

with Grimsby Town and then Lincoln City, before

:07:24.:07:26.

going into management at And that was a path that took him

:07:27.:07:27.

all the way to the biggest job Our sports reporter

:07:28.:07:32.

Simon Clark has this. When after a modest playing

:07:33.:07:35.

career at Grimsby Town and Lincoln City Graham Taylor

:07:36.:07:37.

accepted the manager's job at Sincil Bank aged 28,

:07:38.:07:39.

it changed his life. He led them to promotion

:07:40.:07:41.

with a record points score. Pop star Elton John spotted

:07:42.:07:43.

this and encouraged him to join his club Watford,

:07:44.:07:46.

who he took from fourth That brought him the biggest job

:07:47.:07:48.

of all with England. But the team nearest his heart,

:07:49.:07:51.

home-town club Scunthorpe United. You have to have a reality

:07:52.:07:55.

when looking at the situation Would we want to see them again

:07:56.:07:57.

in the championship? Would we expect them to be doing

:07:58.:08:02.

much more than having Graham Taylor was very much

:08:03.:08:11.

a son of Scunthorpe. He went to the local primary school,

:08:12.:08:16.

and that's just a stone's throw away from the place that

:08:17.:08:20.

would have the biggest impact on young Graham's mind,

:08:21.:08:27.

the old Showground now a supermarket, the former home

:08:28.:08:29.

of Scunthorpe United. A club which in later life

:08:30.:08:31.

would make him a vice president. We were so fortunate,

:08:32.:08:35.

to be honest with you, The last time he was here

:08:36.:08:37.

was back in October, and he was always telling us

:08:38.:08:41.

what we're doing right, Very enthusiastic

:08:42.:08:43.

about our promotion push. He came back in July 2016

:08:44.:08:47.

to attend the grand opening We felt it was really

:08:48.:08:49.

important that he came back, because it marked the transition

:08:50.:08:55.

from the old school to the new school, and it was just

:08:56.:08:57.

lovely because he was so pleased Graham Taylor's football

:08:58.:09:00.

service earned him an OBE, but here it's his transformation

:09:01.:09:05.

of Lincoln that best remembered. Most of all I think what Graham did

:09:06.:09:10.

was to connect the football club with the community,

:09:11.:09:15.

more than any other manager was doing at the time,

:09:16.:09:19.

or for a long time afterwards. Graham Taylor used to joke

:09:20.:09:26.

that he was the only man alive revered by all three big

:09:27.:09:29.

Lincolnshire ruivals, Remembering Graham Taylor. Now,

:09:30.:09:50.

let's get the forecast. Many of us have seen the severe weather

:09:51.:09:53.

conditions today and tonight we do have another weather warning in

:09:54.:09:57.

force. It's a warning for snow. This is mainly further inland, a couple

:09:58.:10:02.

of showers here. Elsewhere, it will turn largely dry. You can see the

:10:03.:10:05.

whole map is turning blue, a couple of showers along the coast there.

:10:06.:10:10.

Lows of about 0 Celsius, it will be a cold one. Try warning, ice inland.

:10:11.:10:17.

-- tomorrow morning. Gale force winds, large waves as well. Do take

:10:18.:10:21.

care if you're heading to the east tomorrow. We will see some pretty

:10:22.:10:26.

nasty conditions there. Again, a couple of snow showers possible and

:10:27.:10:31.

likely to fall to lower levels. The pressure chart for tomorrow night,

:10:32.:10:35.

that weather system moves away. You can see the map is turning blue. A

:10:36.:10:39.

very cold night, leading us into a very cold day on Saturday. Another

:10:40.:10:44.

warning in force. On Saturday. The rest of us, I think it'll be a dry

:10:45.:10:48.

day, very cold. Stay tuned to the latest forecast taken. High tide in

:10:49.:10:55.

Hull tomorrow is at 6:34am and 6:50pm tomorrow night. They you for

:10:56.:10:57.

watching. Take care. note. If that's not your sort of

:10:58.:11:01.

thing, Sunday will be cloudier and milder.

:11:02.:11:06.

Good evening. It was such a mild December, wasn't it, but winter has

:11:07.:11:14.

arrived. Tomorrow morning, again, could be prising the wipers off the

:11:15.:11:19.

frozen windscreen. Yes, it's going to be cold tonight, whether it is

:11:20.:11:23.

liquid,/ or snow, it will freeze solid late at night with

:11:24.:11:26.

temperatures close to or below zero in many places. This was the early

:11:27.:11:30.

snow which pushed across the south-east, a few centimetres over

:11:31.:11:34.

the high ground. Now we concentrate on the showers, which feed in over

:11:35.:11:38.

the north and west of the UK. Some getting into the Midlands, giving a

further coding in places.
