[ZeRic141]

This cheet is fuckin aewsome to do skimboard

[10guitars]

jesus man , looks pretty nasty

[fionn212008]

i dont like happen like movie 2012 i dont like ireland gone land floods

[CSAdnub1117]

Thank god i'm in Dublin, but not for long. Ireland is getting flooded from western winds and especially by global warming.

[irelandcool1]

what i think our government should do is install sirens in areas and different alerts for different disasters putting flood barriers aren't enough as i don't think they will stop floods from occuring what we need is maintenace and flood warnings and education for people on what do to

[irelandcool1]

•here in ireland the people think we don't get stuff like this and other natural hazards and when it happens people forget i understand ireland is not safe from hazards because one year we did get hit by hurricane charlie i think it was 3 or 2. just last november we got hit by the worst flooding we ever had and we do get flash floods plus the big freeze hit us hard as well as europe and we did get hit by a tsunami and i saw a funnel cloud that did not touch down at 2008

[grimetyme2k8]

IRA Scum

[DWANER986]

i remember getting the bus home frm skool and seeing all fields for miles completely flooded and once my dad had collected me it took like an hour or more to get home because every turn off was flooded

[waaeaa]

IRISH QUEING FOR 7YRS LOSE OUT TO IMMIGRANTS

From Nov 09 to March 2010, out of 19 council houses, allocated by Tralee council 11 went to immigrants. Many Irish people are on the housing waiting list, some waiting for 7yrs, and the houses are going to foreigners.

Kerryman 14/4/10

This at a time when Irish children in care are being moved around in different care homes and B&B's. Some of these kids have been abused and committed suicide - they would greatly benefit from a secure council house

[STONERBOB100]

who ever tinks thid video is fake is fuckin stupid!!!!!!

[DWANER986]

i was in school when that happened

[jbenefica]

@jbrabec22: And what the heck kind of name is "new york city"?

[jbrabec22]

What the heck kind of name is "Cork City" anyway?

[cstviz]

it sure beats "down" ahahahah

[mizzlizz31]

@jbrabec22 : what the heck kinda name is ur face :D had to be said

[AxaPolicy50007837]

I KNOW THIS VIDEO IS REAL -

[mattybouy1]

This is defo not fake, me gf had not water for a week...

[hakumeinaru]

I'm from this city. The water was that high. I live about ten minutes from the location of the video. Our water was cut off because our supply got contaminated in the flooding.

It really messed up a lot of people's lives. The flood did a lot of damage to many homes.

So stop being asses, saying this is fake. It's real.

[ciarrai14]

hey thanks :) but all those people saying that its fake, are just shit stirrers in my opinion. i do appreciate you taking the time to write your comments but i think they are just falling on deaf ears... peace

[robbie2445]

@ciarrai14 What kinda dumbass would say this is fake?

[allypiss]

It`s not fake. I live on the other side of the river. It`s very real..

[stephaneverts]

Its obviously fake

[ciarrai14]

ya another spacer!

[stephaneverts]

comon its obviously photo-shopped, no way the river is that high

[ciarrai14]

listen stephan, not even pixar could make a running water video look that good! photoshop is for photos!

[munsterfan14]

im from cork,it was that high

[ciarrai14]

thank you :)

[markok84]

it's faked, the government staged the whole thing to take the attention off NAMA. If you don't believe me check out Jim Corr's website. I hear they can do mighty stuff with Microsoft Paint nowadays

[ciarrai14]

sssshhhhhhhh you are gonna give me away!

[quirkey999]

are u actually serious??really like??do u believe that??

[DylanBlueEagle]

@markok84 i would love to punch you in the face you idiot, i live near wehre this vid was filmed, mine along with alot of my friends water was cut off and a hospital was damaged, so do you seriously think everyone in the city got together and staged this? ur a fucking idiot, people dont turn off water damage hospitals and close schools for attention

[AineBourke]

@markok84 Hate to tell you that you're wrong, but you are! Just found this video while researching a college assignment! We had a tour of the river last week and there is still damage done that was never fixed! Our first stop was to a part where the road is closed due to the lack of a wall along the edge of the road in Grenville place this flood happened 2 years ago and there is still serious damage! Why would it be faked to damage the unfixable?!

[patrickdavidokeeffe]

Ive heard of a few fake flood videos being posted on the internet alright. Ive seen this one before, it has been heavily edited with Adobe premier pro cs4. Easily done too if you have the correct software.

[alientechsk8r]

silly boob

[KlyKevo]

Not in this case though.

Or dont you listen / read the news.......

[Jpafc10]

@patrickdavidokeeffe

Your obviously joking right?

[flamingolla]

Who gives a shit........? really?

[RB320Impreza]

Who gives a shit ? I'll tell you who gives a shit, the people whos houses got destroyed by flood water, that the insurance won't pay for as it's an ' act of god '. The people that have ruined houses for christmas. The people that have to pair for repairs themself during a recession. That's who gives a shit !

[flamingolla]

bring boring boring, stop harping on about the floods,as long as its not near civilisation, who cares........ as a wise fellow county man once said, get over it!!!!!!!

[ciarrai14]

you are deluded! did you take your medication this morning? ya! i thought not!

[billythehick]

why did you look up this video in the first place?

[ciarrai14]

i know, i know! because his life is so empty he scoures though youtube videos just to leave insults to people (mostly kids) in the hope that he can insult them enough so that he knows that just for a moment they just might feel as empty as him! but now, he thinks he can insult an entire city! ha what a muppet :D

[sheanio89]

@pleasestoppissinmeoff - cop the fuck on u tit

[dmcc20012]

I havent been in Cork for a while, never seen floods so bad......

[RB320Impreza]

What scares me is that there's alot worse to come ! If all this rain we've been having turns to snow the whole country will come to a hault.

[CharlieWhitesWig]

Serves them right!

No sympathy here.

[ciarrai14]

Listen asshole if your not interested why dont you piss off and stop wasting your time with your pathetic comments!

[CardCaptorDeadpool]

Hey man thats not cool, grow up this is serious

[daithisam]

[John27346]

You should have gone to specsavers. Do you notice the flooded street in the foreground? Moron.

[CardCaptorDeadpool]

Thr Lee is never that high up or as fast as that, theres no need to be so cynical

[Pleasestopissinmeoff]

[rollinolan]

@Pleasestopissinmeoff its a pity the flood didnt take u with it ya ignorant fuck

[bobbinforyoyos]

does anyone know if college of commerce is closed for the week? i know ucc and cit are because of the flood but i havnt heard anything about college of commerce

[conkerz22]

duno man but if you find out tell me please!

[MrGally88]

CIT is open, no water near it.

[fitzykid1990]

alot of the damage was a result of that missing student.

they stopped the dam to make it easier to search for the body, and when they had to release the water it came faster and with much more water...

[VikingValour2007]

I hope the place is swallowed up by the sea.

[bailey0071]

shut up you little Queer..... " my flood was bigger than your flood" faggot

[dublinirishkelt]

i do good deals on boats if anybody is interested

[rosaleenkh]

does anyone know if Sullivans quay is flooded?

[ciarrai14]

i think it ok there, but 96fm have regular updates

[Trilink2]

the river boyne burst yestarday

its nearly reached my house

[mrdogwalker2009]

...it can only be....the flood report!!

[derryducky]

God is punishing Cork for the disgraceful comments from Roy Keane you lads should sort that twat.

[IrishHitman79]

Its all Henrys fault, dam you cheater! If we had won we would all be too drunk to care, and some of us would be so drunk we try to drink some of the flood water thus reducing the flood damage....Thanks alot Henry my car is trying to act as a Submarine now..........

[Ievanew]

people we have to leave ireland in 2011 becouse its gonna be under water by then scientists have proved it

[TheAtheistKnight]

Do you have any links for this claim??

[problemchimp2]

hey lads I know us Dubs and you Cork lads take the piss out of each other but I'd never wish this on anyone. good luck with the clean up and I hope the rain eases up.

[pepsichick]

God thats bad. Glanmire was nothing compared to town

[gaarocks1]

god! its not just d city dat was bad though im about 20 miles west of it and it was all really badly flooded! in one gaa pitch d flood water was up to the crossbar! (it is near a lake though)

[ikillzzz]

omg imagine somewone jump in the water :0

[SociocidalGirl]

The reason that the flood was so bad is because the water has not been let out of the dam in days.. A student went missing a week ago and they are still looking for him. The body is now feared to end up in either flood water or have been washed out to sea.

[rebelred1001]

It baffles me that in 2009 heavy rain for a couple of days can still cripple a modern city for days. I'm lucky I'm in gurranabraher like!!!

[sageguitar70]

Oh man! Thats not good! It looks like the muddy Missouri River somehow made its way to Ireland! Keep your guitars above water for God's sake!

[dulracmck]

yeah whatever

[Nikon05]

holy shit.

[davidoffon]

[mumpyphiog]

[Ubaroo]

Damn thats insane. I was planning on heading into town today, guess thats not gona happen.

[ciarrai14]

hey Ubaroo the gardes have closed off some parts of the city so i'd leave it off for a while. a section of the river wall has collapsed too near the mercy and the river is pouring out on to the road... its nut!

[windsandbreezes]

That's one hell of a video.

[GirlGamer03]

OMFG,thats unbelieveable!

[ciarrai14]

ya! what a way to wake up to... its pretty unbelievable!

[volcomatic]

hope your flat is high enough. .. take care sailorman

[ciarrai14]

yep but the water is in on the ground level. and all my work tools in the ground floor shed are destroyed :(

[volcomatic]

oh BS.

will your insurance cover the damage ?

have u tried to save anything ?

[ciarrai14]

yep insurance will cover it i guess but you know the way these things work... they will only give the current, depreciated value of my stuff.... but honestly i could'nt care less about that stuff, i just hope all my fellow cork people are ok! im dry where i am but some people houses and businesses are destroyed!

[volcomatic]

yah, u'r right pal .

people's health and wealth should be taken care of first. didn't knew, that it was THAT bad ?

in the video it "just" looks like the river afloated the banks a bit, remember that I'm used to see the reflections ;)

[Aoifxxx]

Yeah thank god I'm way out by Wilton... the mercy hospital is closed and all sure!

[ciarrai14]

your safe out so :) ya i heard the mercy was totally evacuated last night! its crazy that all this happened right outside my door while i was sleeping like a baby...

[Aoifxxx]

Jesus lads, apparently ye're at the worst spot in town now. not going anywhere today id say! fair play on the quick upload tho! :)

[ciarrai14]

hey there! check out tv3 news, patrick st. oliver plunkett st. and loads of other part of the city is soaked... lets just hope everyone is ok....
