On October 24, 2011 in Dublin, Ireland a heavy rain of long duration led to major roads, houses and the city’s main shopping centers to go under water. An off duty Irish police officer is missing in County Wick low, which is close to where a river broke its banks. The Public Transportation came to a screeching halt. In one part of the city an inflatable boat was used to rescue stranded motorist. There was a three-hour delay on some of the more major routes out of the city. The Dublin dart train service was suspended. The heavy rain also hit the travelers along the east coast of Ireland with the Belfest-to Dublin Enterprise service being cancelled. Both of the rivers running into Dublin overflowed, the dodder and the Camac. Authorities said further problems could be caused by an unusually high tied, which was expected on Monday night. The Irish weather service, has issued a severe weather warning for large areas of Ulster and east Leinster.
