This amazing flash flood footage is from Boscastle, Cornwall in 2004. 1 months worth of rainfall fell in only 2 hours triggering a FLASH FLOOD. The impermeable soil around Boscastle, combined with steep slopes surrounding the village created a very rapid lag-time as the rainfall entered the river almost immediately once the soils were saturated. This footage shows the speed of the flood.
