East Lyn River : ウィキペディア英語版 | East Lyn River
The East Lyn is a river which rises high in Exmoor, in the English county of Somerset. It flows through the East Lyn Valley in Devon. ==History== The Lynmouth Disaster occurred on the East Lyn river〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.exmoor-nationalpark.gov.uk/environment/climate-and-weather/lynmouth-flood-1952 )〕 due to rocks and fallen trees having been washed into the West Lyn river. These formed a log jam near Watersmeet, forming a landslide dam. When the pressure behind the dam increased to uncontrollable levels, the water broke out of the dam, and rushed down the East Lyn (via the convergence of the rivers) into Lynmouth, obliterating houses and ultimately resulting in 34 deaths. Boulders from the incident can still be seen today, lining the banks of the East Lyn as it travels into Lynmouth today.
