Default West Cornwall - Torrential rain & flooding.

32mm of rain in Penzance 11:15-12:15. A30 flooded at the entrance to
Penzance (just passable)

Much worse in the Carbis Bay & St Ives area, with a good deal of
flooding, probably nearer 50mm in the same 1hr period. (See 11:30
rainfall radar) EA figures should be interesting.

The consistent large swell this autumn has been bad news for the grey
seal pups, quite a few being washed up.
