    I was thinking more along the lines of a huge server room, just for connect and blackboard, deep underneath UCD, finally succumbing to the relentless flooding.

    No problem getting on now. The server room is in the Daedalus building, above ground and well above the lake level.

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.

    It was pretty bad in the UCD area (had to wade thigh deep through a stretch of the Roebuck Road earlier) but the main reason for the flooding was the fact that it rained from saturday afternoon straight through to this evening, plus a ridiculous amount of rainfall today alone (90mm). It's stopped now, so I'd say everything'll be more or less fine by the morning.

    The Dodder River in Milltown burst its banks in several palces with the water level rising a good 6 feet in some places. It was madness. The Dropping Well Pub was seriously flooded, the whole downstairs floor was submerged. A car in the car park beside it was swept down the river a couple of hundred meters and is completely destoyed.

    I cycled past the dropping well on the way home last night. It wasn't pretty:

    Did you see the downstairs? Was completely underwater. On a selfish note, I hope its open in time for our traditional christmas eve pints there :)

    Just took a picture of that car I mentioned on my way home, I'll put it up in a bit when I find the cable.

    Had to get my bike from the UCD Bowl which was locked in since Saturday (chain a little rusty, but wasn't swept away!). Was talking to the guys in the sports centre and they said that the match vs. Shamrock Rovers is definitely going ahead. Pitch looked fine to me when I was getting my bike.

    Very disappointed with the small amount of flooding. Was expecting to swim valiantly into college.

    Wonder if the Dublin Bus drivers would be so dedicated to their journeys!

    That must be my friend's car, she had a photo of it on Facebook.

    Unsurprisingly it was a woman's car.

    Ouch... I feel for her. Hope her insurance covers destruction by floods.
