Areas of Norfolk remain underwater after flooding in the wake of Storm Babet. 

Aerial photographs taken this week show the extent of the flooding at Hickling and Martham, with large areas of the marshland still submerged.

Storm Babet swept through the region last week and over the weekend, bringing heavy rain and gale-force winds. 

Streets flooded, causing Norfolk's two busiest roads - the A47 and A11 - to close.

Trees were blown over and schools were forced to close, with several weekend events cancelled.

Thousands of homes lost power and some residents reported being trapped in their homes as the storm closed in. 

The east was particularly badly hit by Storm Babet as strong winds prevailed from an east to south-easterly direction from Europe.

Norfolk was hit worst on Friday (October 20), with the coastline being battered by tidal surges and 60mph winds.

Flooding was worse in Suffolk where a major incident was declared. 

The town of Framlingham became impassable after Framlingham Mere overflowed, with cars entirely submerged by the flooding.

One care home in the area saw the floodwaters rise to the ground floor windows.
