Exactly Don. Put 250 mm+ over the high ground and Boscastle would be devastated
again.
Nothing can be done, it is where it is. The recent flood preventions presumably
will do a good job with light rainfalls but an extreme fall will always give
problems. One day I fear the whole village will end up in the sea. You can't
stop nature.
