    some of the town was submerged alright ... the lansdowne seemed to have avoided the worst being at the top of the town ... the town especially around the square; bridge; church were under almost 4feet of water ...

    They thought they had it under control at one point but then the tide came in and they had to retreat somewhat and there were people trapped inside their homes and places of work for the best part of Thursday.

    It is now beginning to subside alright and the cars that were almost covered with water are being moved.

    More of the same weather is predicted for this week-end and plans i understand are being put in place but time will tell on that
