Flooding Kilmainham 2011

thalia_13

Moved back to Ireland currently living Kilmainham, in apartments alongside Camac River. My apartment is on 3rd floor so is safe, but my car is parked on street/ground level under the apartments or sometimes just alongside the river bank.
Water is very high at moment, saw a blurry shaky video on YouTube of the floods and water seemed to be gushing down the street from this area (bow bridge). Was too dark to tell if it was very high but I am now really worried about my car!!!

Any help or advice or memory recalled will be gratefully appreciated? Thanks

Weren't huge walls built along the Camac after the floods there last year?



Hmm, not sure I understand this, but maybe you should move your car if he's saying works weren't done:

Thanks a million for your reply. I reckon my car may be left in work or on higher ground should we get bad rain.... The YouTube video is too dark and shaky to make much of but its enough to have me worried!!
