    apologies for asking, I have to get back to Dublin, templeogue 2 moro from donegal. I was going to go tonight but I decided there is no point in another car joining the bad roads. would you suggest hitting dublin around 6.30 or 7 or better to leave and hit dublin around 11 or 12

    The latter I'd say, the citys a mess at the moment, flood waters are receeding (here at least), but I'd guess there will still be enough problems around to make an early rush hour difficult tomorrow morning.

    Any idea of the river levels here? Just saw the pics of Drogheda, tempted to head down and see myself how high the river is, see if maybe I should put everything above head height before bed tonight.

    But HIgh TIde in the Morning coupled with run off lag... now thats the main worry!... roads away from rivers/canals should be ok though...

    Doubt it, cannot run the lifts or the escalators, electrics and water don't mix kindly together. Insurance people won't allow it either

    nutgrove ave is flooded near grange road, whitechurch at the tuning fork, dodder park road and lower dodder park road flooded. where the owendoher meets the dodder at springfield ave flooded, woodview cottages flooded.all in rathfarnham.

    All areas that used to flood badly and routinely during heavy rain in the 80s. I wonder how the houses built on Dodder Road in dip where the caravan sales place used to be are getting on ? Always seemed to me to be an insane place to build houses.

    Nowhere near as bad as elsewhere, but went for a wee walk with MrH2U round the block but our walk was cut short so took a vid instead.

    (Please note I'm not laughing at the poor drivers - it's an excited/nervous giggle that I get when strange situations occur !) yes I did call one driver a nkob for driving too fast

    royalflush I dont think that is a fair comment that you have used several times to different posters. I am asking people in dublin what it is like, people on the ground can always give a better answer than those looking smartly from the outside.
    I am 3 hours away so I cant tell what it is like. I am on holidays this week but my job is flooded, they are still trying to get the water out, I am going back to try to help clean up. After talking to my neighbours some if their houses are flooded, mine is not thankfully that I can tell. There are alot of people who are outside dublin and stuck on flooded roads wondering if there houses are ok, families are ok and that they will have jobs to go to in the morning to go to! How many people are going to get into work in the morning, lift the shutters and find that their businesses are destroyed.
