Yes Boscastle and where I live Camelford has been flooded at 1pm I got down town yesturday the footy went in the river so I went and got it it satrted to rain headed for cover hammered down for half hour came out and the river was about 1ft deep nothing to worry about, a hour went by shelter again came out the river had burst its banks the river had gone from ankle depth to full on 8-10 feet in 2 hours flooded the park right out, literally trees were getting swept down the river and being tossed at on lookers on the bridge above, the authoritys nearly closed the bridge as it was too dangerous buissnesses near the river have there sandbags out ready for reportedly more, worse rain on the way, as for Boscatle on the new you can see a row of 3 shops, the one on the left hand side had a black board above the door way it's on the news that is what is left of my mates shop, he is in Wales at the moment but his parents shop had been reduced to ruins and may have to come down also one of there cars floated into the sea... I am going to check out the devastation in Camelford shortly...

Did about Lynmouth in Gerography, also about the Camelford incident with the Green Hair or summ't, as I said I live on a Hill and if my house flooded I think about 75% of the UK would be submerged

Been raining all day here in Penwith, suprised the river aint burst in Newlyn as it normally does at least once a year. My village Gulval is in a valley too :cry:

Flashing Factor : Not a great deal to be honest, saw a bit of sheet, but the real business was about 20 miles away.

Boom Factor : See falshing factor.

Rain Factor : Looked like a drowned rat when I went to get my pizza from the freezer.

Wind Factor : Momentray gale.

[Athers]

As soon as I parked in Newcastle it hammered it down for about 15minutes, the grids lasted about 30second before the massive puddles developed. It all pissed it down ridiculously on the way back on the A1 around Scotch Corner.

[Trev_GFC]

Just starting to rain on and off now, with some thunder that's making the earth below me move a bit.

[Jagielka]

God this summer has been total shit weather-wise. :(
