Pathetic prevention and response by the Council and Government again like a few years ago. Theyll be all talk about big action plans and funds but this will keep happening.

There's a flooding conference in Cobh this Friday.

High risk gambling that things like this wont happen with the taxpayer to bail them out when things like this happen.

You can keep an eye on the water height at the Lee Malting via the monitoring station here....

worse then I thought.

very sad day for this great city.

awful. just hope people in these areas are ok.

Sonics2k · 04-02-2014 10:25PM

Jesus, that's really bad.

As much as I loathe the council, its not really fair to out the entire blame on them, even flood barriers could only do so much against that.

Receding a bit now, reckon that was the worst of it. Horgan's Quay and Patricks Quay still have a good bit of water on them - as does the quay by the bus station, so probably best to avoid unless you need a free car wash.

Pana seems to be badly flooded.

Who in their right mind would leave their car in town with all the warnings etc the last week.

BanzaiBk · 04-02-2014 11:13PM

Well I just walked home from the Mercy. Some brainless idiots were canoeing down Patrick's Street and Oliver Plunkett street, I kid you not, in groups of 4/5 creating waves which pummeled into already devastated businesses. Owners outside pleading with people to not cause waves. I'm actually dumbfounded to be honest, I cannot believe the sheer idiocy of these people.

Tis pretty nasty in there.. We took a wonder in. Centre Park road was closed off, Monaghan is badly flooded half way down. All Victoria road up to the sextant was flooded. And the back of the Clarion hotel that's as far as we went but it looks pretty bad. A lot of cars around the back of the clarion had water up to the doors..

hi all, terrible to see cork getting hit so badly with floods. I'm due to travel up from waterford in the morning. does anyone have any idea what the wastern road area is like, and is it likely to flood, judging from previous years? thanks

There's a lot of surface water especially at Lancaster Quay but not flooding per se.

confusticated · 05-02-2014 12:07AM

My brother's out there and said it's not bad. High tide in the morning is ten past nine, haven't heard warnings about it but bear it in mind!
