From the Plymouth Herald
A Traveller site had to be evacuated last night after it was hit be floodwaters.
Police and council workers moved about 20 people from the site at the Ride in Plymouth.
They were taken to temporary accommodation after floodwaters poured down from the hillside on to the encampment near the River Plym.
The evacuation came after a day of rain which turned torrential during the evening.
A council spokeswoman said the approach of high tide at 1am was a factor in the decision to evacuate the families.
