Geography/Floods

Flooding
On October 24th 2011, Dundrum town centre was flooded. There was storms of rain and Dundrum was flooded due to its stupid positioning. It was situated badly due to three reasons:
1; It is at the very end of a hill which is where all the water is collected.
2; It is in a hole in the ground
3; It is situated beside a river
(Ireland is also a country that receives over 2'500 mm of rain annually.

To put today's weather into perspective, Dublin had 90mm of rain, a more than slight increase on the previous historical record, 48mm. Excellent weather your testing out an ark with two of every animal, but rubbish if you wanted to go window shopping.

Heres a video of the flooding in Dundrum. Notice the sandbags at the doors:
