A mammoth clean-up operation got under way in the Gaeltacht community of Gweedore on Wednesday, following a freak flash flood the afternoon before that swept away parts of roads and bridges, and caused damage throughout the parish.
"It is a miracle that there was no loss of life," said Dinny McGinley, T.D. He called for an immediate audit to assess the damage to the area.
A heavy rain began to fall in Gweedore at about 2 p.m. on Tuesday, but it later turned into torrential rain, thunder and lightning that continued until late afternoon
This is bizzarre what the hell is that about 20 foot of water in 3 hours? And people a couple of miles up the road were on the beach...
