UPDATED 12.30pm: Figures released by the Met Office show East Yorkshire bore the brunt of the bad weather yesterday.
Weather stations at East Park in east Hull and Leconfield, near Beverley, were in the top five worst areas for rainfall between 10am and 4pm.
East Park recorded 30mm of rain while Leconfield recorded 29.4mm. Also in the top ten was Bridlington which recorded 24.6mm.
The worst area was Wigtownshire in south east Scotland which recorded 57.4mm of rain.
Bridlington was also one of the worst hit places for strong winds with gusts recorded at 53mph.
The Isle of Wight suffered the strongest winds which reached 64mph.
Today will be more settled than yesterday with more sunny spells across Hull and East Riding.
But there is a risk of heavy showers developing in the afternoon with flood alerts still in place along the coast.
It will be gusty at times, with the strongest winds in coastal areas. Temperatures are set to reach 18C.
Teams from Hull and East Riding Councils were out early this morning to assess the damage.
Tomorrow will be largely cloudy, with the odd sunny spell. Some light and patchy rain will move across the region in the afternoon.
Temperatures will only reach 17C.
Wednesday will begin dry and sunny, but the afternoon will bring showers. Temperatures will be slightly warmer with a maximum of 20C.
Along with the rest of the country, Hull and the East Riding was battered on Sunday by the remnants of Hurricane Bertha, which edged northwards over the course of the day after making landfall in Cornwall this morning.
Up to 10 properties in the East Riding were flooded, while residents and weather experts saw a tornado rip through the Preston Road area of east Hull.
Lewis Dobson, director of the UK Weather Forecast, said: "The wind could strengthen to 45-50mph and exceed 60mph along the eastern coast.
"We should have seen the worst of the torrential rain."
A Humber Coastguard spokesman, based in Bridlington, urged people to avoid seawalls until winds have died down.
He said: "We would advise people refrain from wave-dodging. Powerful waves can very quickly pull you into the sea."
Last night, coastal areas were on high alert due to a combination of high tides and strong winds.
The Environment Agency sent pumps to the Hessle area as levels began rising in Fleet Drain.
Flood warnings – meaning flooding is expected and immediate action is required – were issued for the Bridlington coast and the area around Kilnsea.
Flood alerts – meaning flooding is possible so be prepared – were put in place across other coastal areas.
