Parts of Omagh are supposed to be under a metre of water after heavy thunderstorms this afternoon.

Anywhere else just turned into small lakes?

East Belfast has been very badly affected seemingly.

I've never seen rain like it. Terrible.

The whole of Omagh is gridlocked and the middle of the town in flooded in patches up to one metre.

The electric is flicker here at work and all my appointments have cancelled.

Going to be a rough night..... hope I get home.

I've just heard that the roof at Dunnes Stores has collapsed with the rain and apparently it was hit was lightening.

As I said, only a rumour.

F**kin hell!
Here in the holy city there was some heavy rain for around 15/20 minutes but not the worst I've seen here. Greencastle apparently got away with a light shower!
On Q101, Paddy Hunter (sports reporter) said that he had never seen it as bad in Omagh.

Terrible on the Ormeau road, missed the worst of it on the way home from work, but Eastwoods was under a few inchs of water, mind you it diddnt deter the punters. Manhole (strange word) covers  were bing lifted up by the force of the water from the sewers below and the road had been mangled in a few places.

Not happy with the washout at all, a barbeque/carry out had been planned for a fellas going away for weeks!! Didn't fancy heading to belfast in those conditions.

Also was complete shit in work the weather kept putting out our SIS feed so we were a bookies with no prices on the screens, no coverage, no nothing!
