Nine rivers in Norfolk are at risk of flooding today as the county prepares to be hit by 60mph wind and heavy rains from Storm Pia. 

The Met Office has warned of Christmas travel disruption as the sixth named storm of the season brings severe weather to the region. 

There is a yellow weather warning for wind in effect all of today, meaning travel disruption is likely, power cuts are possible and coastal communities could be battered by high waves.
