T'was just a shower(ok a heavy one)

18.00(20/6)-18.00 55.2 mm

18.00(21/6)-21.00 38.4 mm

15.00-21.00 75.6 mm

16/8/2004 gave me 53 mm but 200 mm upstream in otterham

Boscastle


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.
