belfast floods

August 16th, 2008

What started out as a lot of heavy rain as I headed to Enniskillen for the VibeFest with Kitty and the Can Openers, turned into widespread flooding across Northern Ireland.

Unfortunately the festival was first postponed due to the rain and flooding on the field, then eventually cancelled. So after much waiting around we made our way back to Belfast on the bus.

It continued to rain.

Here is what we saw on our way home (they aren’t great quality as the bus window was very wet also):


All the stuff in the centre is water, and that was a road!

@Grannymar – apparently, from the bbc news article it may have been as much as 20ft
