Latest on tomorrow morning's flooding risk in Cornwall.

"Cornwall's emergency planning officer Steve Winston said a
combination of factors could lead to a "severe" event.

In Cornwall the areas thought to be most at risk of flooding are
Newlyn, Falmouth, Flushing and Looe in the south and St Ives and Hayle
in the north.

Falmouth Coastguard said they will be going out with loud hailers
between 1700 and 1800 GMT in a number of areas in Cornwall including
Gweek and Penzance areas to warn people.

The MetO warning of gusts to 80mph (

) seems insignificant in comparison to what the sea might achieve over
the next 24 hours.

Indeed and the News 24 forecast i saw seemed worryingly flippant about it.
Just mentioned in passing parts of the SW coast might see some flooding, but
in the context it seemed of little importance to him.
