    Thats a great map, but curious as to the thickness of the veins representing some of the rivers. I Identify a particular stream or rivlet that flows north/northeastwards from Urlingford area. It looks huge on that map!

    It's the rivers and their basins. Know the Shannon has a huge basin and catchment area

    True, this one has more finesse. And you can look at other countries also.

    crazy to think it could still be raining from this system in places this time tomorrow.

    This summer could break records for rainfall and lack of sunshine. Absolutely hammering rain here at Dunshaughlin and the land is fairly saturated to begin with.

    Ah you'd feel very sorry for anyone dealing with flooding. Easily the worst situation there is. Well, maybe an insane forest fire. But here in Ireland, flooding is living nightmare #1.
    My heart goes out to anyone affected by it. Been through it.

    Wind and rain fairly tipping at it right now on the coast south Dublin. Much windier than I expected, the noise of it roaring through the nearby trees woke me up. Rough night.

    Good morning,,, Slept well.. Not as windy just now thankfully but reading re Cork. At least they were well forewarned. In times past it would just have arrived with no warning.

    And another while of it all yet. It will be daylight soon. Apart from a deep puddle between this place and the gate all will be well here. I will reconnoitre.

    Stay safe

    About half the predicted rainfall fell. Most places saw less than an inch avg 20mm. Far from Orange territory though places like West Cork where rivers were already v high still flooded

    Wise words. Any thought of a short walk here has been dismissed by high winds and a sheeting sideways deluge. Chilly.

    There's a small river that is culverted down from the Library under New Street and the Square into the harbour and I assume that it burst out at the waterwheel. Looks terrible.
