Looks like its going to be a whole lot bigger in the next few days. I saw photos yesterday and it was about 3 feet below the footbridge in CC. Could be up to 2010 levels in a few days.

Just got a call from Orky asking if I had seen it working yet!

375 cumecs coming down CC today and expected to rise. There was more than 500 during the last floods. The water is about 1 foot from the bridge in Castleconnell!

I know Oisin McHugh and Slev have a video of it somewhere from a few years ago. Don't know if it was this high bit it was pretty massive.

Brid o Connell just put a phot on her Facebook. The car park at the get off is under 4 foot of water.
