Fantastic pics, that water must be over 6ft deep in places.

I'm gobsmacked, I used to work in Dublin Street and I remember the bad flooding down there last year; it looks far worse this time round. How are people going to face it again?

Ricky91t

Heres one of the UCC Western Gate Building,Only Opened it this year and by the sounds of it the water was much higher than it was there!

Plus side,No college next week

Hasn't been too bad around me in Moycullen, Galway but some of the neighbours' laneways are very low-lying & are still underwater (thankfully the levels have receded a lot today) - this particular household seems to have come up with a novel short-term solution..!

Saw this on another forum, it's Kinsley Hotel's underground car park. aprox 50 cars down there.

Jesus that must be sickening.

Just listening to the news there, and there was a businessman saying that his insurance cost him €4,000 back in 2000 but the next year it went to.................€32,000 (with NO flood damage) eeeeeeek :eek:

I think it's the "Kingsley" Hotel.

Athenry and surrounds, Monivea road into town completely closed. We're on the brink of being totally cut off.

Ireland is under a lot of water.
It's becoming at least a yearly event here in Clonmel.

Looking East from the Convent bridge, Clonmel



Water coming under the Old Bridge, Clonmel

Carrick-on-Suir River Rescue helping out in Clonmel



The Defence Forces have been active in Clonmel too, remember that when we hear calls for Barrack closures and Public Servants getting it cushy (these guys & gals will be going all weekend!!)

maddogcollins

This is whats on its way, and remember this is the LOW tide..6 inchs to spare!!



As the day progressed! We were lucky!the high tide this evening could be a different story, along with whats still to come. Could not get into main part of town. Still blocked off!

This might actually be even worse than it looks!...

You may have heard, Audi were to hold their big "Pure Drive" event at The Kingsley Hotel in Cork this weekend (Audi website). Test drive the "most impressive Audi range ever assembled"... check out this guys photos of the event in Dublin last weekend.

"The Pure Drive Experience programme is designed to demonstrate the latest in Audi technology and the cars involved include the new A5 Sportback, the new 5-cylinder turbo TT RS, the Q5 and the S4."

You can see a few nice new Audis were spared above ground but there are mixed rumours tat some of the big guns were parked in the "shelter" of the underground carpark!!! Possible including the R8! Other reports say the big cars hadn't been offloaded from the truck yet, but why let that get in the way of a good story!

some pics from carlow floods.

remember the first set from carlow with the car.

Tourist Office, Carrick on Shannon, it's right beside the river under the bridge over the Shannon




Not a great quality photo, but a view from the bridge over the Shannon, again the tourist office in the foreground, the boats are moored at the jetty. The rest of it is normally a car park!



Farmland in Boyle, Co. Roscommon, ESB pole is on the far side of the field which is where the original river bank ended.





Boyle Canal, the steps down to the boats (at least 8-10 steps) completely submerged. Lots of people spent today trying to secure the boats so they wouldn't end up on the pier.



Lough Key Forest Park, Boyle. The ringbuoy is where the path is along the lake edge. The lake has risen 3-4 ft and the benches are normally about 15 from the water.

shocking stuff alround.

And it's not over yet unfortunately. The water has subsided somewhat in Carrick today but if it's storming tonight (strong winds out there at the moment) it's probably rise again. 40 minute delays going into the town today.

Fionn

yeah it's still very unsettled - wind blowing here at the mo and raining on and off - more for next week too by the looks of things

pullandbang

A couple more from Trim today. We escaped the worst of it - nothing near as bad as the West & South.

The River Boyne. That fishing sign is well up on the bank.


Don't think too many will try drive here!


Some "Casual Water" on the Pitch & Putt course.

Hate to think what the damge costs so far are ! lots of 000000's I think, anyone look at sky news lately ? 4 bridges gone :eek: few million in damages.

Carrick-on-Shannon has been hit quite bad.. taken on a camera phone so they are not the greatest

Gone West

wow thats crazy.

dnme

Well if you look at where they developed Tesco / Shopping at Carrick-On_Shannon, its in very low lying marsh land beside the river Shannon........now that's crazy

cian1500ww

Yeah, carrick was hit pretty bad, didn't get much mention in the news, more rain and the town will have to be closed as the remaining access roads are beginning to flood.

greeneyedspirit

Claregalway today, the situation hasn't changed much... still a lot of water around.

rainbowtrout

i had a walk around Carrick on Shannon and the surrounding areas today. It's still pretty bad over there. This one speaks for itself.
