    I'd never question MTC's predictions. I am talking about in the Mainstream media.
    Met Eireann has just said that all rainfall records were smashed today.

    Bit late forecasting what already happened

    I am sure that is a joke. I do have relatives in the area so I do have a little concern.

    No joke , my mate tsunami (HES NOT IRISH) lives just after byrnes bar and forgot he left the cooker on at home, so naturally u be rushing , i wouldnt be concerned for your relatives because he lives alone and hates his relatives , so crack open a packet of rich tea bikies and let the good times roll........

    Rain should be ending by now in the Dublin area looking at Rain Today. Clearance seems to be moving quickly north.

    True but it looks like there is another batch of showers that are currently moving towards us but are positioned just west in the Irish Sea off Plymouth.

    Any problems around East Wall at all?

    Passed through at about 8pmish. West Road (near the junction of Ossory Rd) has a limited stretch with about 4/5 inches of surface water - seems to be about 3 or 5 inches short of coimg in the doors by the looks of it. The road with the shops/butchers on it is possibly a little deeper.

    Hopefully the rain willl ease off and the houses will survive.

    Let me know if you find out more!!

    Jaysus, I saw the first Dundrum SC video with the Oompa Loompa OMG loike girl narrating and I thought it was just a few inches coming in under the door which seemed to correllate with what looked like a few inches flowing down those steps outside in another picture. I didn't realise it was up to the top of the fcuking doors 7ft high with the doors straining under the weight of water behind them with leaks sprung everywhere. Fcuking EPIC!! pardon my french but theres no other way to describe it!!
