    From the practice aboard a ship of sealing hatches to prevent water getting below-decks in a storm by using covers secured by strips of material, called battens, firmly attached to the frame of the hatch open

    Let's just hope that there are no more tragic weather related fatalities and that everybody in the worst affected areas gets through it in one piece.

    Preferably with their homes intact and power and heat unaffected, specially the old folks.

    There's a Met Eireann app that has a rainfall radar for anyone interested.
