“These pictures give no indication of how bad it was at 4:30am. Areas of Ellacombe, Babbacombe and Wellswood were compleatly impassable. The Ring road was also closed for a while.”

“No warning from the Met Office until after the event. Warning issued at 8.43am and valid from 6.00am. Forecasting after the event, well done!”
