Die Wasserstände am Shannon-River sind immer noch steigend
Das berichtete RTE am Sonntag 13. Dezember 2015.
Die „National Emergency Coordination Group“ hat erläutert, das die Wasserstände auf dem Shannon-River immer noch steigen, aber bedeutend langsamer.
Es gibt noch einige Sorgen um weitere Überschwemmungen in Athlone und Limerick, wo der Corbally Bereich in der Stadt letzte Nacht schwer überschwemmt wurde.
Die ESB sagte, weil der Pegel des Shannon weiter steigt, wird erneut eine Erhöhung des Wasserdurchfluss durch Parteen Weir geschaffen.
Im Anhang sind einige Fotos von der Lage in Banagher die mir Barbara (Silverline) zukommen ließ. Brain J. Goggin stellte mir Fotos von Shannonbridge, Mountshannon und der Portumna-Brige zur Verfügung. Herzlichen Dank den Beiden für diese Information.
Wir wollen hoffen für unsere Freunde in Irland, das in den kommenden Tagen die anhaltenden Regenfälle aufhören und die Hochwasserlage sich entspannen wird.
