Now that I remember!!!

Some bad flooding in Dublin and surround. The heaviest rain fell on the
mountains south of Dublin where 280mm was recorded at Kippure (750m). 200mm
recorded at lowland station in Kilcoole, south of Greystones, Co. Wicklow.

It went down as being the worst flooding in Dublin since 1880. I live near
Bray in Co. Wicklow and there was a lot of damage resulting from the floods
with over 1000 people evacuated from their homes.

I've retrieved much of this information from a Met Eireann weather bulletin
from the month of August 1986. One remark they made was that the storm was
of a severity that would be expected once every 100 years!!!
