Well, er, feet, being the unit that everybody

Isn't it about time that everybody understood metric?

The observation was obviously made in feet because the
conversion to millimetres is ludicrously exact. All right, it's
609.6 mm. If they must use metric, then cm.

I think you mean ludicrously precise, but I may be wrong. 600mm, or 60cm
would do.

Looking at the report this morning, it refers to 'about two feet', so
that's all right then.

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

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

Filling the flood plain with tarmac www.southwestholidaycottages.com/bost.JPG
doesn't increase the the risk?

Don,
Your message seems to have disappeared, but if you have any data at
all on the various flood events in Boscastle, Camelford etc. I'd be
very interested. Not just rainfall but wind data would also be handy.
Just email me. Use link at www.easterling.freeserve.co.uk/weather.html
I've got some data from EA but I'd like a lot more.
