Eily’s Report – 24th October

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my Report.

One minute it’s pouring down with rain and next minute the sun is shining out calm and warm, almost saying to us, ‘what are ye complaining about and just as you’re about to forgive it, the rain starts again. But  to be honest, we have very little to complain about when you think of people of Cork City and Midleton and other places. We get the best account of the disaster from the telly , the best that the cameramen can snatch but I bet there are other cases in the wings who were destroyed also but don’t hit the headlines. It is hard for us to imagine what it must be like to see the torrents of water forcing it way into your sitting room or place of business ,fully stocked with vulnerable stuff.  It is grieving to see beds and mattresses and duvets being dumped out, things the very same as we have in our own homes.  Things that people saved hard to buy and to match for colour and fit. Built-in presses, carpets even the dogs bed. The very thought leaves you cold. It takes a long, long time to put a home together, years and then to have the hard luck of living in a flood plain where you are at the mercy of the elements. To see a car and a boat going down the street in Midleton on television one night said it all. It’s a well known saying that the worst brings out the best in people and to see the way that people come out and put their shoulders to the wheel when disaster strikes never fails to make a bad situation better, even in a small way.
