🌬 The Weather Thread part 2

[Gary_Birtles_Lovechi]

I was living in Cork City when 2009 flood hit. Our gaff was on Western Road, next to UCC gates. County Council decided to open Iniscarra Dam gates that November day, there was a man who was suspected of having fallen into the river and this was part of the reason for opening them.

Remember waking up hearing water, thinking I’d left the tap on in the ensuite. Only to discover the water was coming up through the manholes on the road, and flowing in through our house, out the back decking and into the Lee, which was directly behind us. It was surreal. Luckily I had nothing of value downstairs and the caretaker sorted things out for us with dehumidifiers. My car survived thank jeebus.

@gilgamboa

It appears that Sars GAA made a decision to open large gates at their grounds to let the water in there to alleviate pressure elsewhere and limit the damage to the village…their place is fucked I’d say

That’s the GAA for you. Putting the community first.

You look like a man who could be on his way to drug test the Champ Champ Conor Notorious McGregor!

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

yes, do the things that will stop making climate change worse- thats logical

[myboyblue]

You’d hope the right thing will be done here and a nice big 200K can be directed towards then in the next SCG.

But leave the Mideltons and the Clonlaras and the Athleagues swim in the meantime, yep that logical

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

muldoons denying climate change & being anti Eamon Ryan than being up in arms when climate change washes their towns away is irksome

[maurice_brown]

What about those who accept climate change is happening, but do not believe man is the cause of it.

@EstebanSexface

the blackwater?

No the river in question joins the blackwater a few miles downriver

[MountLeinster]

The Allow?

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

irksome too

[PasqualePaoli]

There was a lot of work done in Ennis along the Fergus in the last 5 years. Raised the artificial banks. It’s not far from the estuary so no down river flooding issues
