This is likely to create surface water flooding and the possibility of landslips. The rainfall levels will then decrease, with drier weather expected in the afternoon – although there will still be the possibility of intense local showers. Flood warnings remain in place on the rivers Cober, Bolingey and Tresillian. The A39 at Kilkhampton remains closed in both directions following the serious accident this morning and is likely to remain closed for some time. Emergency services are currently on the scene on the incident at Looe where a landslip has caused the partial collapse of a property at Sandplace Road. Around 15 people have been evacuated properties in the close vicinity. Evacuees were initially taken to the police station but have now left to stay with friends and relatives.
