    CORK CITY FLOOD ALERT

    High tide is due in Cork on the following day/time

    Wednesday 17/10/12 7:13 hours and 19:34hours.

    Risk of flooding in vulnerable areas in Cork City prior to and after the these tides due to a combination of low barometric pressure, tidal surge and prolonged heavy rain.

    It is possible that flooding may occur on Morrisons Island, Union Quay,South Terrace, Georges Quay, Proby,s Quay, French’s Quay, Wanndesford Quay, Sharman Crawford St., Coal Quay, Lavitt’s Quay,Kryl’s Quay, Kennedy Quay, Centre Park Road and Monaghan,s Road and the low lying areas of the City Centre.

    Steps should therefore be taken to protect properties.

    I would say if you've a car parked anywhere in the low-lying ares of the city centre, now's the time to move it!
