The cost to rebuild Boscastle after the devastating flood in 2004 was approximately £4.5 million. This funding was used to improve flood defenses and enhance the village's infrastructure, ensuring better protection against future flooding. The project included the installation of new drainage systems and the restoration of the environment impacted by the flood.
Biblically, there were none but Noah and his family worthy of being saved. However, most historians agree that the flood story is derived from a similar Sumarian flood story known as the Epic of Gilgamesh.
The Boscastle flood of August 2004 was primarily caused by a combination of intense rainfall, which resulted in over 100 millimeters falling in just a few hours, and the geography of the area that facilitated rapid water runoff. The steep valley sides and the narrow river channel contributed to the quick accumulation of water. Additionally, the existing drainage systems were overwhelmed, leading to significant flooding in the village. Poor land management and urban development in the surrounding areas may have exacerbated the situation by reducing natural water absorption.
