Yes, during the Boscastle flood of 1963, several people were trapped in the village as the river levels rose rapidly due to heavy rainfall. Emergency services were deployed to rescue individuals stranded in their homes and vehicles. Fortunately, there were no fatalities reported, but the event highlighted the dangers of flash flooding and led to increased awareness and improvements in flood management.

What were some of the modern batting stats for baseball player Curt Flood in 1963?

In 1963, Curt Flood played for the St. Louis Cardinals. On Base Percentage (OBP) is considered by many to be a better measure of a great hitter than the Batting Average. It is calculated with the formula (Hits + Walks + Hit by Pitch) / (At Bats + Walks + Hit by Pitch + Sacrifice Flies). In 1963, Curt Flood had 662 at bats, 200 hits, 42 walks, and was hit by the pitch 2 times. He had 2 sacrifice flies. That gives him an On Base Percentage of .345. Slugging Percentage (SLG) is a popular measure of a batter's power. It is calculated as (Total Bases) / (At Bats). Another way to look at it is (Singles + 2 x Doubles + 3 x Triples + 4 x Home Runs) / (At Bats). In 1963, Curt Flood had 662 at bats, and hit 152 singles, 34 doubles, 9 triples, and 5 home runs, for a .403 slugging percentage. Being able to get on base and to hit for power are two of the most important offensive skills in baseball, so the On Base Percentage and Slugging Percentage are often added together. On-base plus slugging (OPS) is a sabermetric baseball statistic. The best hitters in Major League Baseball can achieve an OPS of .900 or higher. In 1963, Curt Flood had a .345 On Base Percentage and a .403 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of .748. Runs Created (RC) is a baseball statistic invented by Bill James to estimate the number of runs a hitter contributes to his team. There are a number of formulas used to calculate it. One of the simplest is (On Base Percentage) × (Total Bases). In 1963, Curt Flood had a .345 On Base Percentage and 267 Total Bases for 92.02 Runs Created.
