I grew up in Bandon also. I have been in the USA for nearly 20 years now. It makes me sad to see the streets submerged. Even with the gray muddy waters, the town looks beautiful! The blue skies and some smiling faces show the true spirit of Bandonians. 4 Hill View

[emnilivedeht]

i grew up in bandon in the 70's and where super valu and lidl are were called the bogs i think that says it all.

[arsenalylknw12010]

our piss poor gvernemnt wouldnt even plan for anything like this, it's basically, "ah, sure it cant be that bad, we will deal with it, rather than spend our corrupt money".... parts of ireland are looking like the aftermath of hurricane katrina now...

[seanmcgrth]

TRUE....But why do they name hurricane's after a woman . . .

[arsenalylknw12010]

nah, thats a myth, it's pretty 50/50. hurricane david, mitch , floyd , john, all huge hurricanes....

saying that, whoever discovers the hurricane gets to name it, maybe some guy's just name them after their ex's and think, well, it cant be as destructive as she was lol...

[foxdmulder]

will lidil have a 'wash out' sale after this?????

[seanmcgrth]

very good..lol

[Reggaee1234]

ye it is always terrible

and the one day we get off tomorrow its set to rain as well

whats the song in this video?

[seanmcgrth]

The music is Beethoven...Moonlight seranato

thought it went well with the foto's, very somber

[ZeroError101]

what if this happend on 2012 people would think it was realy the end of the world??

[CatherineRobinson93]

Irish weather has been a disgrace lately. The rain in Limerick is dreadful!

[LinkinParkRox08]

@CatherineRobinson93 irish weather is ALWAYS dreadful lol

[arsenalylknw12010]

how long have you lived in limerick lol, it's always raining here...

[poppintree22]

It's shocking to think we live on an Island right beside an ocean yet out Goverment don't think they should invest in flood defences, I remember last year in Drumcondra the Army were out within the hour to clean up! Was it because it was on Berties door step!!!!!! Good work lad dum good pic,s for the History book . Up. Dublin! Haha

[LAUZERZ193]

[LinkinParkRox08]

every small business is now fucked,recession,then this? what else can go wrong? i go across that footbridge everyday for my lunch,i skipped school that day lol

[jackburke]

thanks

[ailish086]

Live in Bandon, go to school in the convent, the place i work in bridge street was under 4 and a half feet of water!!

[IchBinAmLeben]

Unbelievable pics. Excellently portrayed. The poor people living on the main street.

[missfemale]

thats so awful all those peoples houses n buildings ruined

[SecondHandMessiah]

is it true that some of the bridge by the post office collapsed?

[seanmcgrth]

On friday evening it was still OK...Foot bridge by the playground was closed off for safety...

Haven't been into down into Bandon since Friday evening,but I'll take a walk down the hill later to have a look.....

[deadman81]

I was in there on Thursday and you could see it was going to be bad. My father was there late Friday afternoon and he said the streets were clear by then but the Plunkett got some doing. Here's hoping no business closes down full time because of this.

Excellent pictures by the way.

[XxLotionxX]
