    I heard the phoenix park tunnel is flooded.

    Another wet day in Kerry. I'm kind of resigned to rain after 9 years living here. I just wonder if I'll ever see a blue sky again. Been raining since September.

    Galway seems to be escaping the worst at the moment or is it likely to get worse later in the day?

    Its a joke, that's road has been flooding since I was a kid, Dublin not even under a yellow warning for rain, its been thundering down with barely a break since yesterday. Flood warning system badly needed

    Actually it's not that bad once you're out in it sounded much worse!

    Sad to see so much flooding in SE and East. Sounds like a lot of rain fell very quickly. Stay safe.

    Nothing happening in Galway so far.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth house?

    We're being spared the worst it seems on the urban north side. Hardly even much puddles in Donaghmede to be honest. Friend can't get out of his estate in Rathfarnham.

    In North Mayo, it sounded very windy this morning around 6am or so for about an hour an a half. Has eased back massively now

    Some misery for anyone at risk of flooding

    ah come on - the rain has been incessant for what seems like weeks. There are golf clubs in the area that are closed to play due to water that have never closed before. Huge amount of flood works have taken place on the dargle river in the area and there have been no flood reports for over 10 years. (Little Dargle to give it the local name as there's a Dargle river in Bray that is unconnected)

    Last nights rain in the rathfarnham area was at a level never experienced before

    Very wild in South County Down.

    Schools closed.

    Recycling bin has emptied it's contents all over the back garden, begging the question have we really drank so much booze in the last 10 days?

    Fairly average here in South Tipp - plenty wind and rain for about 4 hours last night.

    Fields are sodden and River Suir is high, but a good bit short of record levels.

    See waterlevel.ie for real time levels and trends. Even Enniscorthy is 0.5m below record flood level, though still trending upward

    Will see what the afternoon brings, with the winds coming round to S-SW

    I’ve lived in Rathfarnham for ten years and I’ve never seen flooding like this. And Met Éireann didn’t even have a yellow rain warning. Disgraceful

    The east coast has experienced severe weather events with devastating consequences. In Dublin, this included the death of a woman who drowned in her own flooded flat in 2011. Enjoy the schadenfreude though.

    on its own, was a yellow warning warranted? how much rain actually fell?

    or asking another way, was the flooding a result of a sub-yellow event, plus zero soakage actually left in the ground?

    It doesn't really help your point when you reference fifteen years ago to back it up, not looking to get in a discussion on the point, just saying back it up with something more recent.

    She was a neighbour of mine so I remember it as I was flooded myself. My heart goes out to anyone around the country that suffers from flooding. It's not just water, it's sewerage, rats etc…. and it takes a long time to get the house right again. I remember the Cork flooding in 2009 and sending relief money.

    I drove through Wicklow and south Dublin this morning and the flooding is as bad as I've ever seen it. Wicklow uplands getting destroyed.

    Don't really like to post event MET warning bash but yellow for Wicklow and no warning for Dublin was simply not sufficient.

    We've had previous orange warnings for rainfall in Dublin with hardly any travel disruption or flooding, and then today we have not even a yellow warning, flooding everywhere, with it bad enough to close a large amount of roads including the m50 motorway. Local school campus is flooded as well.

    Can someone make sense of that?

    Certainly no account had been taken of all the previous rain which has fallen over the last couple of days.

    its exactly what the warning said

    Met Éireann Weather Warning

    Bands of rain associated with Storm Chandra will be heavy and persistent. Rain falling on already saturated ground will lead to the following:

    Possible impacts:

    • Localised flooding
    • River flooding
