Kilkenny’s river Barrow in flood
This weekend we lost our Broadband connect while our provider fixes some 18000 connection problems, mostly due to power supply problems.
I Wanted to record the after effects of storm Darwin, so spend a long time out and about getting images of the floods and the damage created in the counties forests.
The images below are taken along the river Barrow , which is usually a very calm river that flows through the county. As you can see from these images however the entire valley and floodplain is many feet underwater and this water is flowing at full speed down through the county toward the county of Waterford.
Yikes. I think we got off very lightly in Dublin….

Hello 🙂 🙂
I think you still got a good blasting but Kilkenny for some reason got hit hard this time, Many trees are down and the rivers are very bad !!
Role on the Summer !!

Oh my, I guess that’s why they call them “flood plains.” Stay dry!

These shots are not easy to like, Nigel; but they are brilliant in showing a storm-ravaged countryside.

Hello M.
Thank you, I feel exactly the same.
Nature has many faces I guess, although I am sure this side of her is all apart of how life grows and develops, its just hard to see how but many things will find good out of all this !!!
Thank you !!!

So much flooding – many famers unable to plant seed – must be a list of suffrering
