Emergency services remain in the flood-hit towns of Snaith and East Cowick after more than 60 homes were evacuated.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council said they now believed about 30 homes were flooded in Snaith.

Roads and schools in the area remain closed.

Paul Abbott, from the council, said water levels on the River Aire were being closely monitored."At the moment the water isn't going away quickly and we think it is going to be here for several days," he said.

People who have been forced from their homes in the flooded East Yorkshire town of Snaith say they're shocked at how quickly the water rose.

Christine Stewart, who lives on George Street, says she tried to stay in her home until the water knocked off her power.

It's after the River Aire overtopped earlier this week, flooding much of the town.

She said: "It really came about tea time yesterday. It got worse but it hadn't quite come up to my front door. So I thought 'I can hold on here. I can always sleep upstairs'.

"But then this morning it was at the front door and the power started to go.

"There was a knock and a voice that shouted 'Are you alright' and it was at that point I thought 'I'm going'."

Water levels need to drop further before a clear up operation can start, the Environment Agency says.

Frank De Planta from the agency said that although levels had dropped slightly, land around the towns, known as Ings, were "absolutely rammed full of water and still overspilling into Snaith and East Cowick."

Mr De Planta said things were "not looking good".

"We really need the Aire to drop still further for those Ings to empty and therefore clear that area.”

Schools in flood-hit Snaith are to remain closed on Friday.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council said Snaith Primary School and Snaith Academy will be shut and Cowick Church of England School is likely to remain closed as well.

The authority said it was delivering more sandbags and it had deployed water pumps to East Cowick.

The A1041 is closed north of Snaith and at East Cowick.

Stephen Hunt, from the council said: “We’d like to reassure residents that our staff will remain in the area around the clock across the weekend and for as long as they are needed during this emergency situation.

“We would urge residents needing advice and information to please go along to Priory Church, Snaith Library or the town council offices, and our staff will help as much as they can.”

The coastguard, fire service and the Red Cross are just some of the agencies helping people in Snaith as residents are forced from their homes by rising floodwater.

The East Yorkshire town has been hit by rising water but levels have "stabilised", the council has said.

An emergency rest centre has been set up at the Snaith Priory Church to offer advice and information to people that have been affected.

Dozens of properties have been evacuated after the River Aire overtopped yesterday.

A business owner in Snaith has described the moment flood waters entered her nursery and hotel.

Samantha Mitchell's day nursery is among dozens of properties that had to be evacuated after the River Aire overtopped on Wednesday.

She said: "I've never seen anything like it. We've lived here 22 years and it's never, ever done this.

"We had to close the restaurant this morning after the guys had left the hotel due to the water coming in further, faster and faster. So we're completely shut on both sides.

"I've got to accept the fact that I can't do anything about it. We've done what we can inside the building. We've lifted all soft furnishings up and everything out as much as we possibly can.

She said 12 "pallets of sandbags" had been delivered to prevent further flood damage.

Flooding on the railway line at Snaith has meant there are no services between Goole and Knottingley "until further notice".

A replacement bus service is running, train operator Northern said:

These photos show the extent of the flooding in Snaith where about 70 properties have been affected.

Resident Adam Petch, said: "It just came up that fast, that quick, you can't believe the amount of water there is."

"It's just total devastation," added Denise, another resident.

Up to 70 properties in Snaith and East Cowick have been flooded after the River Aire overtopped on Wednesday.

Dave Holder said his son, along with a friend, had bought a wheelbarrow from their pocket money to "move sand bags around Snaith".

Twelve-year-old Leah donated a huge bag full of toys, puzzles and stationery to the Snaith Priory Church, which is being used as a rest centre.

She said: "I just felt sorry for all the little kids whose houses have been flooded. They have nothing anymore now. Everything is either wet or soggy or doesn't work so they just need something."

These are the latest pictures from an East Yorkshire town where up to 70 properties have flooded.

Sixty homes and six commercial properties have been affected in Snaith, according to Humberside Fire and Rescue Service.

The Environment Agency say the level of the River Aire is "dropping upstream" and it hopes water levels will start to lower over the weekend.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council says it's put two additional locations on stand-by to act as rest centres for flood victims if needed.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council said it was planning a recovery operation in the East Yorkshire town after more than 60 properties were flooded.

But efforts "can only begin when the risk of further flooding subsides", the authority said.

Paul Abbott, head of housing transportation and public protection, said: “Full recovery activities won’t be able to start until water levels have receded and will not rise again.

“When that happens, our officers will visit every affected property when it is safe and sensible to do so."

He says officers are "on hand" at the Snaith Priory Church rest centre and at Snaith Library to offer advice and information to residents.

Road closures remain in place at the A1041 north of Snaith and the A1041 at East Cowick.

Local Community Inspector Mark Lovell said: “The residents have been fantastic. Everyone is helping one another and pulling together, but you cannot underestimate the devastation that floods cause and how difficult it is for people."

Phil Duckles, from the fire service, said: "Out of the 60 homes we've evacuated 54. So six people have decided to stay in their homes."

Adam Tunningley, from the agency, said: "Levels have risen slightly in the last few hours because of the high tide that's coming in.

"The high tide itself at Goole is slightly lower than yesterday, but obviously with all the water coming down the Aire it is still going to mean the levels will remain high and may rise slightly today."

This is the scene this lunchtime in Snaith.

BBC Radio Humberside reporter Lucy Clark is in the town speaking to residents and those helping to try and battle the floods:

Self-inflating bags that act like sandbags are being made available to people affected by flooding in Snaith.

Emergency services have been helping people leave their homes in Snaith and East Cowick.

But not everyone who may be affected has decided to leave.

June Blenkins said she had chosen to stay in her house on George Street in Snaith and was hoping the water creeping up her garden would not get into her home.

"My garden slopes down a bit so I am living in hope I might be lucky," she said.

"It might come up to the garage but then go back again."

Another Snaith resident, Adam Petch, said he was shocked at the speed the water levels had risen.

"It just come up that fast, that quick, you can't believe the amount of water there is. It's just devastating," she said.
