    How is it misleading?

    you don't think posting the above post in a flooding thread on a night with flooding is misleading, nevermind the fact he/she said
    including the magic roundabout are now closed as well.

    implying the entire roundabout was closed when it was in fact open as usual. :confused:

    Yup..Totally My fault...

    I was told that it was closed before I left the house..

    Maybe I should have checked it before I posted.

    :(

    Generally: Floods around this time of year are fairly predictable and once they start to recede can be totally gone in five minutes.

    I once sent my editor a picture of a dry School Of Commerce after he had insisted that he had both phone in witnesses AND 96FM's reports of massive flooding.

    I said if that's the case I should be standing in five feet of water, I photographed my dry feet and sent it to him ~ don't be smart was his reply and he slammed down the phone.

    On many occasions it takes so long to organise the Gardaí and City Council that by the time the Fire service leaves, the flood is going down and the road is often actually closed AFTER the flood.

    Yesterday evening the City embarked on a programme of pre-emptive road closures in the face of a Southerly or SE gale warning, moreoeless the eye of the system was rotating over us and we experienced a relatively quiet period at the critical high tide time which facilitated the sudden and rapid flood recession and also limited said floods rise.
