the river that flows through great yarmouth, it is quite benign. igh yarmouth, it is quite benign. we are on a high water. it was a very different picture at half past nine last night. the water was within 13 inches of the concrete ramp. there we re inches of the concrete ramp. there were no breaches of the flood defence in great yarmouth, mercifully. but emergency services at everything in place to deal with it if that happened. if we go across to the houses just some feet away from the edge of the riverside, these are among the 5000 homes in these are among the 5000 homes in the severe flood risk area. the police and raf teams knocked on doors and tried to persuade them to leave. about 80% of them refused to go to the emergency evacuation centres. you can see the sandbags in front of their doors. a lot of them picked up three sandbags and decided to hunker down and stay at home. i went to one emergency centre and with the 400 places they had at one school only five turned up. it was a much more quiet event than expected. the question is why did we

ben brown is in great yarmouth, were issued —— huge storm surge is about to reach its peak.eared this —— this storm surge. you can they possiblyjust behind be the water; it is not yet up to the level of the coastal defences here, so it looks like great yarmouth might get away with it, and further up the eastern coast of england it is the same story, whether high tide has already hit —— where the tide has already hit —— where the tide has already hit, it doesn't seem to have been as bad as the warnings would have had people believe. but further down the coast, the high tide will be later on and they are bracing themselves for perhaps more damage. it has come over in some places like scarborough, the water has come over a little bit, but not too concerning. 17 severe flood warnings we re concerning. 17 severe flood warnings were issued by the environment agency. that means a risk to life, and then more flood warnings as well involving people being asked to take immediate action. there have been 5000 homes that the authorities have been trying to evacuate here in great yarmouth

that has been flooding in the past year in great yarmouth. the worst was backin in great yarmouth. back in 1953 when people died. you are not worried it can be anything on that scale? i think the sea defences they have been doing are a lot better than in 1953 to hopefully that will take the brunt of it. fingers crossed, we will see. just looking at the conditions, does it give you and glue about how bad it might be? it does not seem windy at the moment —— does it give you a clue? it does not seem too bad at the moment but the wind can change. fingers crossed to you. i will let you get on with the sandbagging. i can go to our correspondent danny savage who is in lincolnshire. it is right up and down the east of england which is affected by the flood warnings. danny, what is the picture where you are? ben, the seas are picture where you are? ben, the seas a re pretty picture where you are? ben, the seas are pretty rough. i havejust been speaking to someone who thinks the high tide will getjust behind us but he has some confident it will not be coming over the sea defences here. two h
