Boscastle flooded again

The Cornish village of Boscastle, which was devastated by flooding in August 2004, has once again been affected by floods. Some properties were left under 2 feet / 60 cm of water. In the 2004 disaster, buildings were destroyed and cars washed out to sea after prolongued heavy rain precipitated flash-floods. More details here.

  1. My empathy here.  NJ has many flash floods, we have missing people right now from an earlier flood.  As the water recedes, it's even more horrible to see what's left.  But it's life, happening now.  Thanks for the contined info, and support.  CATHY

  2. Dear God not again!   How tragic!  I haven't been able to watch the news so didn't know of this new horror Guido.  I hope there were no fatalities?  I can see lots of folks having to give up and move away now.  How awful for them.   Jeanie
