  1. Jezus, judging from that wheelie bin under the range rover that’s at least a foot of water.

    And more on the way

    The black car abandoned in the middle of the road 😭 I don’t think that’s survivable 😢

  3. This is truly horrendous to see, I’m so sorry OP. I hope it hasn’t come inside your house and I really hope your cars aren’t damaged in this.

  4. Rathfarnham area, and yes not too far from river dodder and other streams. Seen a few videos of Nutgrove avenue and such, seem to be the worst affected areas.

    In the second image there’s a bit of a dip in the road, I imagine that’s where the worst house/car damage will be. No doubt a few cars will be written off. That black Toyota tried to drive through the road at the peak of it 😭.

    Water got into the house a bit, was a family effort this morning to minimise the damage, have already got into contact with some friends and family re humidifiers and such. Just awaiting to see if any action is to be done by the fire brigade, they had closed off the road this morning however the majority of the road is still stuck indoors for the forseeable.

    Ireland: let’s not bother growing any trees, drain out wetlands, and monocrop and grass over every conceivable patch of land. What can possibly go wrong.

  6. Arrived downstairs to a lake of water in the kitchen. Ceiling and chimney both flooding water in. Will have to get a dehumidifier and run it for the next few days

  7. The Range Rover owner there feeling additionally smug today

    Edited: because it originally read like I was a Range Rover owner who is feeling smug, I am not, and I don’t, I was referring to the Range Rover in the pictures who appears to have the only car that doesn’t have water at door level.

  8. Ireland has no flood warning system and people with expertise on the issue have sent their concerns to the government. Yet, they’ve done nothing.

    All the data shows our weather is becoming more extreme. So this is only going to worsen as the years go on.
