    dublin under water!!

    http://www.rte.ie/news/2011/1025/wea...s_tuesday.html

    (watch the players)

    my backyard was immersed and water was gradually creeping up towards the door, thankfully it stopped raining just on time!!!

    businesses, homes and shopping centres are flooded and whole streets are rivers of floating cars!

    never saw anything like it and more heavy rain is to hit in the early hours, i think im now going outside to lift up manhole covers in the yard

    we should be safe, we're just at the foot of the dublin mountains so are a few metres up from those flooded areas. the garden had me worried, i'd dug it all up a few weeks back and stoned it id say prob 8" deep and leaving an inch between the top and the paving, the water was so high i couldnt see the stones!!! it was beginning to ebb up over the paving just before the rain stopped, thank god.

    we had over the month average in just 10hrs, ive never seen consistent torrential rain like that in my life

    DSM will be along soon enough.

    Lots of flooding going on all over. Look at Thailand. 2 years ago it was Philippines. Remember our lifetime is a blink in the eye as far as weather patterns and cycles are concerned. We have no idea what is really normal.

    Stay dry and safe. Prepare for the worse now and start getting anything valuable off the floor that can be damaged by water before it's to late.
