Major Flooding Incident Boscastle & North Cornwall

Page 6

 

These two pictures demonstrate clearly the extent of the flooding.

This first picture shows the scene early on, note the water level and the person trapped at the open first floor window.

   

Here you can see the water level has now reached the  first floor of the same building with the person still trapped. The white building beside it is now collapsing. The person at the window was one of the last to be rescued by military helicopter and was unhurt.
