Burst drain in St Ives

When that recent tragic event happened at flooded Zennor (marked understandably by St Piran flags at half mast everywhere in St Ives), the town here at St ives suffered badly as we well know. I was fascinated by the array of beacons that surrounded a bulging drain near the harbour slipway here.
In a nutshell, three people lost their lives due to the exceptionally high rainfall, at Zennor;, and many, many business premises in St Ives were affected by severe flooding, despite many millions of pounds having been spent on flood alleviation.
 
That is indeed a great tragedy, and to lose lives in such a maelstrom. But, have we not progressed since the days of flooding and water filled streets that I see in the old photographs? Thank you for the information. ::15:
