This was shot on Polzeath beach, the day the floods happened in 2004. We were just enjoying the day wondering why so many helicopters were flying around. Boscastle is just under the giant black cloud!

    No - the rain from this cloud was intensely localised (and geographically in the worst possible place). My Mum was driving home along the A39 between Wadebridge and Camelford that afternoon and - like most locals - saw the evil cloud and thought "Some unlucky village is really in for it" but there was no rainfall in the surrounding areas at all. No overcast or rain-heavy clouds, just this monster cloud. Its called the Brown Willy Effect (see wikipedia).

  • on this day we were staying at a campsite on the south coast and had gone to visit friends and go to the castle at Tintagel, but beforehand we considered going to Boscastle. We didn't even know about it till a few days later on the radio.

  • I worked at HAARP contact me and I will give you more info!

  • Wow the power of HAARP!And b4 anyone says anything <I know better than you!100%!

  • Did it reach Polzeath??

  • About 15/16 miles away.

  • the weird thing is, polzeath is no more than 20 miles away from boscastle! i know this because i live about 5 miles away from boscastle, and i can get to polzeath in about 20 minutes easily. don't know the exact mileage, to be fair, but its probably only about 10. just goes to show how not only does cornwall have a different climate to the rest of england, but it has different climates in each town and village!

    kernow bys vyken!

  • We were sitting, having lunch at the Atlantic House when that happened, thought we might have to go into the bar coz I wasnt gunna let my burger get wet! Best Cheeseburgers ever there!

  • i go to polzeath every year =] cant wait till may x

  • Still gives me a shudder that.
