Cork Floods

post, by Donncha.

A round up of a few videos and photos of the flooding in Cork last month.

Panciostela drove from Victoria Cross up the Carrigrohane Straight to Windsor Motors and posted 3 videos along the way, shooting the flood in the Kingsley Hotel last. Any vehicles in the underground carpark there must have been completely destroyed.

Lots of photos on Flickr and pix.ie (floods around the country), there’s even a Submerged Cork Flickr Group. Brian Clayton posted some outstanding photos of the floods on his blog.

Thanks to Margaret Jordan where I saw one of the videos above and prompted me to post this.

Links: Will has blogged about the various fundraising activities for the people displaced and affected by the floods, West Cork Wash out!, Flood in Cork, North Main Street.

I forgot to say, I was in town on Saturday and there was hardly any sign of the flood and the city was very busy!
