Things get very wet in Blackrock, last time there was a high tide and heavy rain the water level was such that all you could see was the tops of the rails

And the train I was on managed to get through it

The fact the track side drainage channel is blocked doesn't help matters

I got off the train around lunchtime yesterday in Blackrock, I pressed the button, stepped out (onto southbound platform) and immediately got hit full in the face by a wave. Yuck!

I got a glimpse of that from my office window in blackrock yesterday. Those winds were quiet fierce. A few of thaw slamming onto the tracks. Having said that with some of the bad weather we have had over the last twelve months It has been nearly a year since i have seen it as fierce as yesterday.
