Regarding radar totals: from the 1km radar suggests (24 hour totals midday
Fri - midday Sat, GMT) up to 239mm just offshore of the NW of The Carracks
(west of St Ives) with probably 180mm along the coast - I'll delve into the
details later....

I suspect overnight totals 100mm above St Ives. A real test for the
new flood defence work The stream in my garden is at it's highest
level since we moved in Aug '07. Still raining

Got to go out - more details later.

There are a number of news stories appearing now. A regular statement
is that parts of west Cornwall received 50% of the normal April
rainfall in 12 hours. In fact locally it was 100% in nearer 6 hours.

There has been extensive flooding. 2 hotels in St Ives had to be
evacuated. It now appears that the new flood defense scheme didn't
help much
