Breach in the bank of the Tullybranigan River in Island's Park
This was one of number of rivers which burst its banks in the South Down area during Storm Francis.
Storm Francis

Moving in rapidly from the Atlantic overnight 24th-25th of August, 2020, the deepening Storm Francis brought intense rain to the North of Ireland. This resulted in flash flooding in many parts of the province, the worst incidence being in the coastal resort of Newcastle at the foot of the High Mournes in Co Down. Here, the Shimna River burst its banks and flooded low lying areas of the town. Over 100 homes were flooded and a major rescue operation was mounted by the PSNI, the NIFRS and HM Coastguard. A similar event took place in August 2008..
