Fully expected. Has/Have the Council done nothing down there yet?
I thought I saw a story in Nationalist sometime this year about flood barriers or alleviation?
I was gonna look at an apartament there to rent in Centaur House courtesy of Asset Mngmnt. or St.Johns or Riverdell but if area isn't sorted, would tend to put me off.
Does the flooding get on to Haymarket? If not, access to Centaur House SHOULDN'T be an issue should it?
What about Riverdell or St.Johns?
Were they affected & is it a risk I take if I rent there?

Anywhere around there is always at risk, there's been regular flooding there for eons. In the past it has even flooded up to the traffic lights across from the postoffice. You might get to Centaur St but you might need wellies or waders to get to your front door.

The water was bubbling up through the manholes on Friday night. This what causes the flooding.

it's gone down now, the water was up to the benches in the park yesterday but it has receded a few feet this morning

shame, I was looking forward to a good flood

well I got my wish

http://pix.sparky-s.ie/images/78526144639495186693.jpg

that was taken a little under twelve hours ago.. as it stands now, the two traffic cones there are completely submerged and the road barrier has floated away.

ill take more tomorrow morning when it's light out

Graigue seems to be suffering again. Was down there at about 10pm and roads were closed off. Main street on way to bridge from Carlow town was impassable. Walked down towards barrow and it looked a flooded mess. Dicey Rileys and all those ground floor apartments down that way must be ruined again, and worst is still to come.

It happened last year, why the hell a year later has nothing been done to prevent this??? So unfair on residents there, and businesses like Diceys..hard to take 2 blows like that in a year

honkytonk52

its a joke usually i got out the back road to kilkenny every morning, guess what it was flooded yet again with a car already stuck in in so had to do a u turn... had to go all back the way through graigue out the new rd and back down dublin st to get to the kilkenny rd, what a joke, when are they going to sort something out..btw i was late for work due to this:mad:

Watching the floods creep ever so slowly up my street! Thankfully today its to be a little drier, but, that doesnt mean the waters wont rise, as the rain waters seep down from higher ground it'll continue the rise. The weekend is to be very wet and windy unfortunately!

Sleatty Street, Maryborough Street are closed, I believe Graigue bridge is closed also, with the only access to this side of the town being via the new, Duggan, bridge.

saw the tractor and trailer out earlier ferrying people up and down the street.

across from the post office and right down the road is like a massive pool

my grandfathers house has been flooded out over night in leighlin bridge, the whole ground floor is destroyed. Here's hoping the insurance will cover it

Someones gonna have a slightly damp interior! :eek: Who the heck owns that car? Did it get stuck, or do one of the residents own it! Looks like a VW?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

i dont know, but it wasn't there around 1pm yesterday when I took this picture

http://pix.sparky-s.ie/images/78526144639495186693.jpg

someone clearly thought their car was able for more than it actually was

flamegrill

Can you get out of there? :-). I hope you have an ample supply of beer and raw meat to get you over the next few days. There's more rain on it's way!

I have to say that it looks very peaceful there today with the Sun splitting the stones. Nice.

Very close to me too. We've never flooded, even in '47.

'47, I've heard a few tales about that event, the snow sounded cool, but the resulting floods not so much so.

I'd say only for the pump up at O'Reillys the flooding would be much worse down here considering how bad it is in the rest of the town.
