Default [WR] Dartington, South Hams - flooding

31.6mm of rain since midnight last; 48.4mm for March so far, 197.0mm
in February, 426.4mm for 2007 so far.

Just back from an exploratory trip to Totnes. Extensive flooding in
the usual suspect areas bordering the River Dart, probably the 2nd or
3rd most extensive flooding in 6 years. Shame I didn't have a camera.
The River Dart is a site worth seeing coming over the weir just
outside Totnes...and it is still raining, but at a modest 1.0mm/hr.

Flood warning now in place between Dartmeet and Totnes.http://

Dartington, South Hams.
