Ireland battered by strong winds from Storm Debi
Storm Debi comes hot on the heels of Storms Babet and Ciarán, both of which had devastating effects on the country.
Large areas of Cork were submerged in water after intense periods of rain brought by Babet caused flooding.
Just a few weeks later, Storm Ciaran wreaked havoc in certain areas of counties Down and Louth.
The national forecaster warned up the upcoming storm on Saturday, saying there was “potential for a spell of wet and very windy weather over Ireland on Sunday night and for a time on Monday as a deepening depression tracks over the country,” before issuing weather warnings on Sunday.
