Storm Diana: Some of the scenes from around the country

Wed, 28 Nov, 2018 - 19:32

Storm Diana has passed but not before leaving her mark across the country.

Many areas were battered by heavy winds and rain today with the storm leaving 40,000 homes, farms and businesses without power at its peak.

Diana caused plenty of disruption for people throughout the day with fallen trees blocking several roads.

As the clean-up begins, here is a look at some of the scenes from around the country today.

We strongly advise the public to stay away from exposed beaches, cliffs, piers and promenades along the coast today.
Remember to Stay Back, Stay High and Stay Dry!
If you see someone in difficulty in the sea or on the shore dial 999 or 112 and ask for the Coast Guard #StormDiana pic.twitter.com/jsllLNIPIz

It’s days like these that I wish I had bought a €50 umbrella rather than a €5 one from Penney’s #StormDiana pic.twitter.com/px0QKDzm6v
