8-17-2004 Rescue workers comb storm-hit English village after flash flood horror
BOSCASTLE, England (AFP) - Rescue workers combed a coastal village in north Cornwall for missing persons after a flash flood sent a wall of water tearing through the picturesque tourist spot the day before.
Dozens of villagers were plucked to safety from rooftops and stranded cars in Boscastle, southwest England, by seven rescue helicopters after a short, sharp burst of rain triggered Monday's disaster.
"We're not exactly sure about the number of people missing," but there could be at least 15 unaccounted for,
More than 50 automobiles were swept into the sea at the height of Monday's torrential rainstorm and a half-dozen buildings collapsed
The disaster -- said to be the worst instance of flooding in the region in 50 years -- was blamed on torrential rain which beat down on Cornwall on Monday afternoon.
It only amounted to just over two inches (five centimetres), but it fell in a particularly concentrated burst, Britain's Environment Agency said.
