ay, isn't the Irish summer just brilliant? After 24hours of non-stop rain, Dublin has become a flooded city. With water rushing down the streets, puddles around 25 times larger than before, and deeper, constant rain gushing and pelting down from the skies as thunder and lightening flash and roar. Traffic on all the main roads coming to a standstill, and the River Liffey rising high, with it's toxic ridden waters close to overflowing.

Gardaí have even closed off some of the major roads due to flash floods, and in my own area, the N3 has been closed off, Blanchardstown and Mulhuddart villages are flooded as the Tolka has bursted it's banks. It took me an impressive 2 hours and 45 minutes to travel home by bus, with a half-hour waiting time before hand, making it a total of 3 hours and 15 minutes. A new record for me.


Two pictures are up of the events, 'Red Alert' and 'Saturated'. Expect more as the deluge floods on...
