Flood risks continue A low pressure system combined with high tides is bringing further risk of flooding, the Environment Agency has said. Coasts and tidal areas of Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Bristol and South Gloucestershire were all at risk on Saturday and Sunday. Some residents in Bude and Portreath in Cornwall are preparing to evacuate if necessary. Fifteen Welsh counties have been issued with amber flood warnings. Flood defences on part of the Welsh coast, washed away by recent storms, have been reinforced with bags of slate set down by a helicopter. The North West and the Yorkshire and Hull coast are also expected to be affected by wind, rain and high tides at the weekend.
