Storm Babet has been battering East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire with strong winds and heavy rainfall causing problems such as a school in Bridlington being forced to close.
Students at Headlands school have been sent home as a precaution.
It's understood there's a small amount of damage but that's being repaired.
The school says it's confident it can open again on Monday.
because because the building has been declared unsafe, part of it has even come away.
Meanwhile there's a real danger of flooding in Bridlington with the Environment agency issuing a warning for part of the seafront there.
A yellow weather warning's been issued for both wind and rain across the area.
The one for wind affects areas near the coast whilst the other for rain covers the whole of the Humber region.
We've had reports of power cuts to some areas and a small number of trees may be blocking some roads.
Surface water is an issue in some places making driving conditions very difficult.
The Humber Bridge has a lower speed limit and is currently closed to high sided vehicles.
