New images show the erosion-threatened coastline of Hemsby taking a battering but escaping the brunt of the 60-mph conditions over the weekend.
Oliv3r Drone Photography captured images of the beach and cliffs at low tide on Sunday afternoon (November 24) as strong gusts hit the shores.
The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for the county's strong winds on Sunday and added that the gusts will die down today (November 25).
Just last month strong winds and high tides stripped more sand from Hemsby Beach and a two-metre drop in the sand ramp to the lifeboat station left the crew unable to launch their boat.
But local councillor, lifeboat volunteer and business owner, James Bensley, shared a post on the Hemsby Beach Cafe's Instagram page saying "thankfully" the winds were from the south and were, therefore, less damaging.

MP for Great Yarmouth, Rupert Lowe, says he has been fighting for his threatened constituents in the village ever since he was elected in July.
He has now galvanised the support of the Great Yarmouth Borough Council Conservative and Labour groups as they have signed Mr Lowe's letter to secretary of state for environment, food and rural affairs Steve Reed.
The letter calls for Mr Reed to visit Hemsby to see how severe the "urgent" problem is in the village.
