Witnesses have today been expressing their sadness after last night's tidal surge ripped through the Norfolk village of Hemsby.
Several homes were destroyed by the large waves.
Robin Adams lost his holiday home in the surge. He says that he has never seen a storm like yesterday's in his life:
"I've seen storms before, but this was relentless."
"The sand and the dunes were just being eaten up."
"It was a dramatic event, but obviously I've lost my holiday home and those memories are gone now. It's very sad."
Five days after the worst tidal surge to hit our region in 60 years, dozens of people are still waiting to return to their homes.
King's Lynn was one of the first places hit by yesterday's tidal surge, where the North Sea topped the town's flood defences.
The beach huts on Southwold seafront were damaged large waves during last night's storm.
