The floods just keep on coming.......................................

We actually had no rain here in the last 24 hours, but the previous day's
brought the river up to a very high peak again - 3.49m @ Ballyduff.
The first picture shows the river below the Lodge @ 3pm yesterday with the gauge @ 3.20m.
next is the graph of height at Ballyduff. Falling away steadily @ 2.33m @ 7am.


Next graph is the upper river @ Millstreet which is the lowest it has been in the last week this morning.  I drove to Fermoy yesterday & took a couple of pictures.
 The first is the Ballyduff-Fermoy road at the Wall Pool at Ballinaroone - yes thats the wall on the left. A foot of fast-flowing water on the road!
Next is the weir at Fermoy at 2pm yesterday - just a ripple.

Last picture is the entrance to Ballinaroone beat with water flowing very strongly
off the fields just above the stile.

There is yet more rain forecast for this evening.
