I looked at the radar around 2300 last night and it looked perilous at
that time for North and West Cornwall. There certainly wasn't a
warning at the time which surprised me. Having s.aid that, who would
have seen it at that time?????
If the rain had been marginally further South, could have been far
worse.

I think it was in a pretty bad place, centred between Penzance & St
Ives. A couple of years back St Ives would have been badly flooded, it
looks like the recently completed flood defence scheme worked.
