A NUMBER of people who were marooned after fleeing their homes on the Humberston Fitties during Thursday night's tidal surge sought shelter at Freeman Street Resource Centre in Grimsby.
The centre was a hub of activity with health and social care staff on hand to support the 15 people who were transferred after the high tide.
Rapid Response, GP out of hours and intermediate care at home, under the Care Plus Group, had a plan in place to support the vulnerable.
Each person was given support before returning home or going on to stay with friends and family - while one woman went to a care home for respite.
Jane Miller, chief operating officer of the Care Plus Group, said: "People were upset at having to move from their homes at short notice and it meant a lot of people had a scary reminder of the 2007 floods.
"But the events demonstrated how much of an asset Freeman Street Resource Centre is to our community."
Neil Cartwright, head of service, said: "Because of our clinical teams we were able to offer health support on a rotational basis. Thankfully they were not needed in that respect but it was very much on the edge for a period of time."
Meanwhile, transport bosses remained cautious throughout yesterday.
East Midlands Trains suspended services between Lincoln and Grimsby and Barnetby and Grimsby until midday.
And Freshney Place took precautionary measures yesterday morning, delaying opening until 9.30am, after closing early the night before, with shoppers missing out on late-night trading.
Late night shopping will resume as normal on Thursday, December 12, until 8pm with free parking from 5pm.
Forest Pines Hotel and Golf Resort general manager John Angus said: "Five trees on the hotel's golf course were damaged.
"As the health and safety of our guests is paramount, we have closed the golf course and a full inspection and clean-up has now taken place. Nobody was hurt and the course will reopen once the bad weather has cleared."
