The Boscastle flood of August 2004 was caused by a combination of heavy rainfall and the area's topography. A severe storm dropped nearly 100 millimeters (4 inches) of rain in just a few hours, overwhelming the local drainage systems and rivers. The steep valley sides led to rapid runoff, which caused the River Valency and River Jordan to swell dramatically, resulting in flash flooding that devastated the village. The emergency response, including helicopter rescues, helped mitigate the impact, but the event highlighted vulnerabilities in flood management for the region.
