well I've just been looking at some film footage of these floods - never seen anything like it in my life before!!! Apparently on top of the floods they had inches of hailstones which turned into things that look like ice floes - it is incredible and looks like the Arctic - cars almost buried in ice

oh dear - poor Boscastle - they probably haven't recoved from the last lot - to be flooded must be awful but with such cold weather as well must make it so much worse
