Storm victims urged to avoid contact with floodwaters as they return home

Communities affected by the most devastating tidal surge in 60 years along the coast of Britain have been warned to avoid direct contact with floodwater and beware of rats moving into homes.
Thousands of people who were evacuated from their homes will be assessing the damage after being allowed to return to their properties yesterday.
A major clean-up operation is under way after the Environment Agency said 1,400 homes were flooded, including 300 in Boston, Lincolnshire, alone.
In Suffolk, police said there was no further threat from coastal flooding but local authorities warned that people should take precautions around floodwater.
