#Weather - Heavy rain overnight has brought some severe flooding to Howth in North Dublin, as this photo taken by Robin Blandford (via Irish Weather News on Twitter) early this morning shows.
Strong winds from the tail end of Hurricane Bertha sweeping in from the Atlantic have destroyed the food village tent prepared for this afternoon's blessing of the boats.
The flooding is now easing as the weather system clears to the northeast across the Irish Sea.
But it was too late for the main road through Howth's village leading up to the summit which buckled under the strain of the floodwaters.
