A lot of rain fell in a very short period in time, Boscastle is situated in a V-Shaped valley so it is easier for the water to pile up (flood), the River Jordan (the river which flooded) needs to pass through Boscastle to reach the sea, sothere was no stopping the flow of the river, a car blocked the flow of the water from the bridge so the water could not flow into the sea.
The Boscastle flood started by to much heavy rainfall which got out of hand and would not stop and the river got higher and higher until it flooded the country .
