- Abstract
The article discusses the flash flooding that occurred in southwest England on May 29, 2008. The flooding impacts in many parts of Devon and Somerset including Shepton Mallet, Crewkerne and Wells are discussed. The failure of the Meteorological Office and Environment Agency (EA) rain gauge network to capture the amount of rain that resulted to flash flooding is examined. Graphic representations related to rainfall radar data and rainfall readings using rain gauges are also presented.
