Flash Flooding in Cornwall as Thunderstorm Worsens

A flash flood event is underway in parts of Cornwall and Devon following intense rainfall this afternoon. Over an inch of rain has fallen in many areas, meaning there is a heightened risk of surface inundation this evening in rural routes across the area. Impacts to travel therefore likely, including as this storm heads westwards along the south coast. Stay tuned to local radio stations and authorities for info on any road closures etc. See the Live lightning strike links below.
