More pictures from Blackrock

The floods and high tides at Blackrock have been all the talk in the area in recent days so here’s a further selection of pictures that were sent our way by local photographers Patrick Murtagh and Fergal McCabe.

2014 has only just begun but we already have some of our most memorable images of the year.

And so it begins…

High tides are due at 3.15pm and already Blackrock has started to flood again.

Half of Main Street was already covered in water by 3pm, as this picture by Jason McGee demonstrates. You can follow what is happening in Blackrock live via the webcam at www.blackrockvillage.ie

UPDATE: The Loakers has also been reported as flooded this afternoon, as well as the Fairgreen area of Dundalk.
