South Quay in Great Yarmouth is flooded and closed to traffic, after a pumping station failed overnight.
I've been told by the fire service's incident commander that raw sewage in the water is coming up through the drains, and a fire engine is pumping a jet of water into the River Yare trying to clear the mess.
The cause of the failure isn't yet known, but UK Power Networks and Essex and Suffolk Water are by the pumping station near to the Haven Bridge.
