Speaking just before 6pm, Chris Bell, from the UEA_based Weatherquest said: 'I think we have seen the worst of the winds now. I have seen reports of some trees down around the city but as we go through the rest of the evening it should start to ease. but it will still be windy for the next couple of hours.'

He said he wrote to Norwich City Council on January 6, raising concerns about the safety of the eucalyptus, but said he had not received a reply.
His neighbour Polly Hulme saw the tree fall, and said: 'The wind was blowing and the top of the tree was really bent and I could see it was going to go, and all of a sudden it just fell. I was so worried it was going to go on my car.'

Darron Burness, head of the AA's flood rescue team, said: 'Driving conditions are going to be extremely hazardous at times today, so heed any police warnings about whether it's safe to travel.
'With a high risk of travel disruption, local radio really comes into its own. Use your car radio's traffic announcement or TA function to keep up to speed with road closures and allow plenty of extra time.
'The faster you drive, the further you can get blown off-course, so keep your speed down, particularly on exposed stretches. Take extra care after dark when it's harder to spot fallen trees and other debris on the roads.'
