Storm Francis :: Shared Description

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..
