Default Lynmouth Flood disaster 1952

Yn erthygl , sgrifennodd
Gavin Staples :
Car ownership in 1952 was less than a quarter of what it is today. I
shudder to think what would have happened if this was repeated today.


Is there any reason why it might not? Has anything been put in place there
to prevent a recurrence, or at least do they have a decent early warning
system?
