A number of shops, business premises and homes have been flooded at Midleton, Youghal and Castlemartyr following heavy rain in east Cork this evening.
The main street in Midleton was blocked for over four hours, following what was described as a cloudburst, which occured between 6.30pm-7.30pm.
The flooding has now abated, but many residents and business people are facing into a clean-up tomorrow.
A number of other areas within a 15-mile radius, saw no rain at all.
