People have had to be rescued from their homes tonight as flooding

The worst affected area was Hornsea, where at least 30

Three people had to be saved from a car in the town as high tides

and strong winds meant the sea overcame defences.

Much of our coastline had been warned to expect flooding with high

They were upstairs, but still, they were petrified. Frozen, she has been

under the water. The little one. Just need to get them out to safety.

On the seafront, a grandmother and two children had to be

rescued from this car, moments before it sank.

He had broken down seafront, did not think it was that deep and it was

perhaps for or five feet deep where she entered the water. We got the

children out first and then the Leigh Day, three minutes later the

car assault, completely underwater. The tidal surge sent seawater

into around 30 here - waves crashed over the sea wall

and flooded nearby Seafront businesses were pounded

by the sheer force of nature. Staff who were working at this

amusement arcade described how the water took just 20 minutes to go

from a trickle at the front door to a torrent. The flooding here has

cost thousands of pounds worth of damage. You could not stop it even

running in. The Greens could not cope with that. It was running down

the Meanwood well. Mud is up to two or three feet. The front has been

covered. There has been a lot of internal damage to the machines, I

would imagine. Tried Kick It Out but it has come in

and around the back. That is it. Very sickening but you cannot do

much about it. It come straight down the road. I feel sorry for the

people. Residents here feel that

despite the advance warnings, the flooding in Hornsea took

people's houses, helping older people and general people really.

Look North, Hornsea. People living all along the East

coast had been told to prepare for flooding with dozens of flood

warnings issued by Pumps, extra defences

and the Army were knocking For many it was a day of watching

and waiting nervously for high tide to pass,

as Linsey Smith reports. All is calm on the Hessle Foreshore

near Hull tonight. But this was one of nearly 30 places

some families were evacuated. Water came close to their homes -

This thrill-seeker surfed the waves for 40 minutes earlier.

In these conditions, the reason why I like it is because I am out there,

there are no buildings or cars, just me at one with the sea, where I feel

the safest, that is where I also feel the happiest.

Hull's tidal barrier was key to protecting thousands of home.

The East coast surge is being monitored and assessed

from a dedicated command centre in Lincoln.

This is an incredibly serious situation, that is why we have the

army, air support, police all working together but it is about

telling people that that support is there to be proportionate and we

need to make sure people take these risks seriously, but if you look

around, people are not panicking, they understand the risks and that

is the correct response. Tonight, the environment agency say

they are checking flood The more dangerous points have

tonight that it believes the worst has passed and it doesn't expect

and flooding information, listen Let us move ahead to the weekend

forecast. Some snow is on the way. Here is Keeley Donovan.

After today's weather, you will be pleased to know that

we've had the highest of the tides, the storm surge has now moved away

and the strong winds are beginning to ease.

A warning for ice, however, on untreated roads and pavements

into tomorrow and that's because we've had a fair few

showers today, mainly affecting coastal areas,

and we are expecting a widespread frost overnight.

So, very cold and frosty conditions, temperatures quite a few

degrees below freezing, particularly for inland spots.

So, some slippery, frosty surfaces into tomorrow and we will still see

that northerly wind feeding in a few wintry showers to the coast,

still quite brisk along the coast, but not as strong as today.

Everywhere else, dry and fine, plenty of sunshine but bitterly

cold, temperatures only getting up to around three or four degrees.

So, a very cold day to come tomorrow, but through tomorrow

evening more cloud developing from the West and actually,

on Sunday, it will develop into a milder day with temperatures

But a lot of cloud through Sunday with outbreaks of rain and drizzle.

Do send us your photos and videos of the tidal surge that we have

experienced up and down the Yorkshire coast today.

That's all from Look North tonight, we'll be back tomorrow afternoon

at 5:30pm for a full round-up of the day's news.

5-6 is the best we will have. It stays cold into the beginning of

next week as well stop Good evening, a cold, icy

night, but some others have other concerns. This was the scene earlier

today, huge waves crashing on to the shoreline at Whitley Bay. We still

have the peak of the high tide to come in other parts. This is the

flood line number. It's if you have any concerns. The worst of the wind

slowly comes -- subsiding. Wintry showers across the North of Scotland

and some filtering well inland across the Midlands, giving a light

dusting in some places. An icy night, temperatures widely close to

or below freezing, particularly where you have snow cover. Tomorrow

starts cold. A large chunk of the UK will have a fine, crisp,
