Saved from cage grave
Ireland hit by Helene wind & rain
STORM Helene battered Ireland last night with torrential rain and galeforce winds sweeping across the country.
And it isn’t over yet as we’re set for some unsettled weather for the rest of the week.
Met Eireann said:
“It will be windy and showery tonight with lows of 8C to 13C. Wednesday is set to be wet and windy with local flooding.”
Looking ahead to Thursday, the forecaster said it’s too early to tell what way incoming Storm Ali will develop.
However, Irish expect Alan O’reilly wrote on the Carlow Weather Facebook page it will likely be a “bigger concern”, while a third storm could also be on the way on Thursday night. The dogs escape to safety A VOLUNTEER wades in to rescue caged and abandoned dogs just in time as they face being drowned by rising floodwater from Hurricane Florence.
Some stood on their hind legs to avoid being swamped and swam to safety once they had been released in Leland, North Carolina. They had reportedly been left behind when their owner fled. A rescuer said: “By the time we left the water was so high they would have drowned.”
Florence has lashed North and South Carolina killing 20 people but officials are warning the “worst is yet to come”.
A body was found in the search for one-year-old Kaiden Lee-welch, who slipped out of his mother’s hands and was swept away by rushing water.
