Here's a....news article

i was supposed to be in a holiday cottage thing in cornwall right now. robably not right there but :o anyways
Very glad there seem to be no fatalities; one could not have guessed such would be the case judging by the news reports and footage.

Tending to his gruntle, probably. :P
JP may now be worried that it has now hit his neck of the woods. A road was swept away by a landslide, caused by heavy rain, in Scotland yesterday. Again. luckily, there were no serious caualties.
too many places named Cornwall, I got confused
It is the county of Cornwall in south west England, Keikan. The place it happened was a small village there called Bocastle.
Stangely, a few miles further up the coast, 52 years to the day, exactly the same thing happened to the town of Lynmouth.
