Thanks Debs, My troubles with 4 inches of water seem so trivial in comparison to Boscastle's though, Kevins cousin was renting a cottage in the row of houses behind the witchcraft museum, thankfully she was on a day out with her mother in Barnstaple, but her car is the blue one that they keep showing on the news sailing into the harbour and oblivion! She is being very light hearted about it all, but I think the whole horror of the incident is just starting to sink in. Her insurance company when she rang last night, said bring the paperwork in and we will sort it out, she tried to explain that 10ft of water at 40 mph had swept it out into the Atlantic and they said that they couldnt do anyting without the paperwork!!!! I am sure things will seem clearer in a few days time!
More bad weather forecast for tonight, we are preparing for the worst but hoping they have got it wrong again!
We are available to help anybody in the area who needs a room or manpower, and there is talk of a benefit concert to raise money to help put the town back on its feet, we will let you know more as it unfolds.
Cheers, Lucy
