"The city of Cork and several towns were severely flooded Wednesday as the
year's strongest Atlantic storm arrived with heavy rain and wind gusts of
more than 70 mph. The River Lee, which runs through Cork, burst its banks
and flooded the southwestern city's main roads with up to 9.5 feet of
water. Records indicated it was the worst such flood since 1962. Thousands
of homes along Ireland's southern coast suffered periodic blackouts as the
state-owned Electricity Supply Board struggled to repair downed lines.
Cork's airport also diverted many flights to other Irish airports and
outbound passengers faced delays averaging four hours. Authorities warned
that worse was likely to come, with at least another day of harsh weather
forecast and coastal residents braced for more possible flooding as high
tides approached. Most ferry services on routes to Britain and France were
canceled."
