around the humber estuary, spurn point nature reserve was closed in anticipation of the surge arrival. in cleethorpes high water brought limited flooding along the promenade, though to the south of the resort holiday areas were affected. in adjoining grimsby water overwhelmed the dock gates, the water was able to be contained within the docks which had been run down in anticipation, and did not flood into the town. as the water was funnelled up the humber estuary the surge level increased. humberside police declared a state of emergency as the river humber reached a record height of 5.8 m in the city of hull. to the east of the city the village of paull flooded. within hull city the hull tidal barrier was lowered, protecting large areas of the city, however some flooding occurred in the city centre, victoria docks, and hessle foreshore to homes and business properties. a major flooding event occurred in west central hull due to the surge overtopping the albert dock; the a63 road through the city was closed until midday 6 december due to water covering the carriageway. humberside police released aerial footage from further up the humber showing the large extent of flooding across north lincolnshire and east riding of yorkshire, along the river trent and ouse. altogether the east riding of yorkshire council counted 210 residential properties and 45 commercial properties flooded. 500 properties were flooded in north lincolnshire across 11 villages.

yorkshire is drained by several rivers. in western and central yorkshire the many rivers empty their waters into the river ouse which reaches the north sea via the humber estuary. the most northerly of the rivers in the ouse system is the river swale, which drains swaledale before passing through richmond and meandering across the vale of mowbray. next, draining wensleydale, is the river ure, which the swale joins east of boroughbridge. near great ouseburn the ure is joined by the small ouse gill beck, and below the confluence the river is known as the ouse. the river nidd rises on the edge of the yorkshire dales national park and flows along nidderdale before reaching the vale of york and the ouse. the river wharfe, which drains wharfedale, joins the ouse upstream of cawood. the rivers aire and calder are more southerly contributors to the river ouse and the most southerly yorkshire tributary is the river don, which flows northwards to join the main river at goole. further north and east the river derwent rises on the north york moors, flows south then westwards through the vale of pickering then turns south again to drain the eastern part of the vale of york. it empties into the river ouse at barmby on the marsh.
