Boscastle Flood - Cornwall

[Simo]

OK, I know I'm a little behind the times with this, but I've just been watching it on the news!

Feck me, that looked BAD!!!

Seeing all of the cars floating off down the street was really freaky!

Does anyone on here live near to this place?

Hopefully things stay as they are, with no fataalities!

i know it looked fucking bad didn't it

[Simo]

Yeah, its pretty shocking!

How does this work with insurance... is it classed as an act of god... therefore the insurance companies dont have to pay out??

Serious sheit!

[Natalie]

they said on the news that the insurance companies are there already assessing the damage. i think they are going to pay out. did you see all the cars just piled up on top of eachother? i cant believe that there was no serious injuries

[Simo]

No, I didnt see them piled up smileys/fcuk.gif

Did any make it out to the sea smileys/smiley17.gif

I bet some of the insurance companies have a clause about natural flooding in their policies!

[dannsax]

i think a few made it to the sea front smileys/smiley3.gif , im bricking it because guess where im going for a lad's holiday on monday smileys/smiley5.gif

its shit as well because some of the buildings were over 300 years old. All that character and heritage gone just like that. I fell sorry for the residents. Its like sumthin u see on movies with the helicopters flyin above a river goin through a village

[Smithy]

Insurance companies have said that no-one will be refused cover because of the flooding. Bet it goes up a hell of alot though! And if the people there thought it couldn't get any worse, who turns up? John Prescott then Prince Charles! Just what you want! smileys/smiley5.gif

[barrett]

yeah thats serious stuff isnt it!! its mad!

It would be outrageous if the insurance companies didnt pay out!!

[oz_borne]

it is very mad, i'm one bay away from it right at this very moment. Some of the beaches next to boscastle have been closed because of debris. Seriously on the beach i was on in bude today there was so much crap. The harbour that the cars fell in to AND THEN ON OUT TO SEA< YES SIMO, SOME DID MAKE IT TO THE SEA, is in complete chaos, mud everywhere.

The mates i have met down here went there 1DAY before it happend. mental.

if anyone wants to be a good samaritan, than the number to give muhuney is 08701633823.
