"It's like a disaster movie": Tiny Cornish village hit by flash flood as terrifying wall of water 5 feet high hits homes
"It's like a disaster movie": Tiny Cornish village hit by flash flood as terrifying wall of water 5 feet high hits homes, battered parts of the country tonight and people have been airlifted from their homes. Air-sea rescue helicopters have been winching terrified residents and stranded car drivers to safety as the storm from hell turned the small Cornish seaside town of Coverack into a 'disaster movie' this evening. There are fears for a couple in their seventies who were winched into a coastguard air-sea rescue helicopter in what was described as a 'life critical incident'. Residents have described the scene like an "apocalypse" and compared it to the devastation in Boscastle several years ago.
