Gale force winds are to batter parts of the county as the latest storm looms over Norfolk.
The Met Office has confirmed that Storm Lilian will hit the region on Friday morning, bringing category-nine gales.
The wind will be focused around coastal areas to the northwest of the county with Hunstanton bracing for winds of up to 52mph.
The gales are expected to be at their strongest between 7am and 11am.

The winds could cause "slight damage" to buildings and roofing as well as high waves and spray to blow onshore.
It comes just after Hunstanton was issued with a flood alert this morning after tides 4m above the average threatened the town.
Moving east, the weather front will still affect much of the county with winds reaching 49mph in Norwich and Cromer, 48mph in Great Yarmouth and 47mph in Diss.
Temperatures are set to hit 27C in parts of Norfolk towards the end of next week ahead of September's arrival.
