:00:49. > :00:56.They were upstairs, but still, they were petrified. Frozen, she has been
:00:57. > :00:59.under the water. The little one. Just need to get them out to safety.
:01:00. > :01:01.On the seafront, a grandmother and two children had to be
:01:02. > :01:06.rescued from this car, moments before it sank.
:01:07. > :01:13.He had broken down seafront, did not think it was that deep and it was
:01:14. > :01:17.perhaps for or five feet deep where she entered the water. We got the
:01:18. > :01:18.children out first and then the Leigh Day, three minutes later the
:01:19. > :01:21.car assault, completely underwater. The tidal surge sent seawater
:01:22. > :01:23.into around 30 here - waves crashed over the sea wall
:01:24. > :01:26.and flooded nearby Seafront businesses were pounded
:01:27. > :01:38.by the sheer force of nature. Staff who were working at this
:01:39. > :01:42.amusement arcade described how the water took just 20 minutes to go
:01:43. > :01:47.from a trickle at the front door to a torrent. The flooding here has
:01:48. > :01:51.cost thousands of pounds worth of damage. You could not stop it even
:01:52. > :01:56.running in. The Greens could not cope with that. It was running down
:01:57. > :02:04.the Meanwood well. Mud is up to two or three feet. The front has been
:02:05. > :02:05.covered. There has been a lot of internal damage to the machines, I
:02:06. > :02:20.would imagine. Tried Kick It Out but it has come in
:02:21. > :02:24.and around the back. That is it. Very sickening but you cannot do
:02:25. > :02:27.much about it. It come straight down the road. I feel sorry for the
:02:28. > :02:27.people. Residents here feel that
:02:28. > :02:29.despite the advance warnings, the flooding in Hornsea took
:02:30. > :02:43.authorities, and It was awful. Started going into
:02:44. > :02:47.people's houses, helping older people and general people really.
:02:48. > :02:52.Was it a case of everyone pulling Was it a case of everyone pulling
:02:53. > :02:53.together? Yes, just trying to keep everyone save and if we could, get
:02:54. > :02:55.them out. The worry now is for the next high
:02:56. > :02:58.tide in the morning - rescuers fear if the wind doesn't
:02:59. > :03:00.change direction, the flooding could be even worse,
:03:01. > :03:03.though for many, the damage has Phillip Norton, BBC
:03:04. > :03:05.Look North, Hornsea. People living all along the East
:03:06. > :03:08.coast had been told to prepare for flooding with dozens of flood
:03:09. > :03:11.warnings issued by Pumps, extra defences
:03:12. > :03:13.and sandbags were used to try Some homes were evacuated in Hessle
:03:14. > :03:17.and the Army were knocking For many it was a day of watching
:03:18. > :03:21.and waiting nervously for high tide to pass,
:03:22. > :03:29.as Linsey Smith reports. All is calm on the Hessle Foreshore
:03:30. > :03:36.near Hull tonight. But this was one of nearly 30 places
:03:37. > :03:39.warned about flooding. Earlier this evening,
:03:40. > :03:40.some families were evacuated. Water came close to their homes -
:03:41. > :03:58.before finally receeding. Really relieved. I think many glass
:03:59. > :04:02.of wine is in order. Just to calm my nerves because it is a horrible
:04:03. > :04:04.feeling, because you just do not know what will happen.
:04:05. > :04:08.watched, and waited - but were thankful the temporary
:04:09. > :04:12.Along the coast, those keen to take photographs ignored
:04:13. > :04:14.the Environment Agency warnings to stay away.
:04:15. > :04:27.This thrill-seeker surfed the waves for 40 minutes earlier.
:04:28. > :04:36.In these conditions, the reason why I like it is because I am out there,
:04:37. > :04:40.there are no buildings or cars, just me at one with the sea, where I feel
:04:41. > :04:42.the safest, that is where I also feel the happiest.
:04:43. > :04:45.Hull's tidal barrier was key to protecting thousands of home.
:04:46. > :04:47.The East coast surge is being monitored and assessed
:04:48. > :04:52.from a dedicated command centre in Lincoln.
:04:53. > :04:58.This is an incredibly serious situation, that is why we have the
:04:59. > :05:01.army, air support, police all working together but it is about
:05:02. > :05:06.telling people that that support is there to be proportionate and we
:05:07. > :05:10.need to make sure people take these risks seriously, but if you look
:05:11. > :05:11.around, people are not panicking, they understand the risks and that
:05:12. > :05:14.is the correct response. Tonight, the environment agency say
:05:15. > :05:16.they are checking flood The more dangerous points have
:05:17. > :05:20.passed but the warning Linsey SMith, BBC Look
:05:21. > :05:29.North, South Ferriby. The Environment Agency has said
:05:30. > :05:31.tonight that it believes the worst has passed and it doesn't expect
:05:32. > :05:34.the situation to be as bad But dozens of flood warnings
:05:35. > :05:38.do remain in place all along the East Yorkshire
:05:39. > :05:40.and Lincolnshire coast. This is the latest map showing
:05:41. > :05:42.the places in red that The next high tide is tomorrow
:05:43. > :05:49.morning between 5:34am For the very latest weather
:05:50. > :06:10.and flooding information, listen Let us move ahead to the weekend
:06:11. > :06:15.forecast. Some snow is on the way. Here is Keeley Donovan.
:06:16. > :06:19.After today's weather, you will be pleased to know that
:06:20. > :06:22.we've had the highest of the tides, the storm surge has now moved away
:06:23. > :06:24.and the strong winds are beginning to ease.
:06:25. > :06:27.A warning for ice, however, on untreated roads and pavements
:06:28. > :06:29.into tomorrow and that's because we've had a fair few
:06:30. > :06:30.showers today, mainly affecting coastal areas,
:06:31. > :06:32.and we are expecting a widespread frost overnight.
:06:33. > :06:35.So, very cold and frosty conditions, temperatures quite a few
:06:36. > :06:37.degrees below freezing, particularly for inland spots.
:06:38. > :06:39.So, some slippery, frosty surfaces into tomorrow and we will still see
:06:40. > :06:42.that northerly wind feeding in a few wintry showers to the coast,
:06:43. > :06:45.still quite brisk along the coast, but not as strong as today.
:06:46. > :06:48.Everywhere else, dry and fine, plenty of sunshine but bitterly
:06:49. > :06:50.cold, temperatures only getting up to around three or four degrees.
:06:51. > :06:53.So, a very cold day to come tomorrow, but through tomorrow
:06:54. > :06:55.evening more cloud developing from the West and actually,
:06:56. > :06:58.on Sunday, it will develop into a milder day with temperatures
:06:59. > :07:02.But a lot of cloud through Sunday with outbreaks of rain and drizzle.
:07:03. > :07:23.Do send us your photos and videos of the tidal surge that we have
:07:24. > :07:25.experienced up and down the Yorkshire coast today.
:07:26. > :07:28.That's all from Look North tonight, we'll be back tomorrow afternoon
:07:29. > :07:30.at 5:30pm for a full round-up of the day's news.
:07:31. > :07:33.5-6 is the best we will have. It stays cold into the beginning of
:07:34. > :07:44.next week as well stop Good evening, a cold, icy
:07:45. > :07:50.night, but some others have other concerns. This was the scene earlier
:07:51. > :07:54.today, huge waves crashing on to the shoreline at Whitley Bay. We still
:07:55. > :08:00.have the peak of the high tide to come in other parts. This is the
:08:01. > :08:06.flood line number. It's if you have any concerns. The worst of the wind
:08:07. > :08:10.slowly comes -- subsiding. Wintry showers across the North of Scotland
:08:11. > :08:15.and some filtering well inland across the Midlands, giving a light
:08:16. > :08:17.dusting in some places. An icy night, temperatures widely close to
:08:18. > :08:27.or below freezing, particularly where you have snow cover. Tomorrow
:08:28. > :08:29.starts cold. A large chunk of the UK will have a fine, crisp,
