Hurricane Ophelia - Togher - Monday 16th October 2017
On Monday 16th October 2017 , an extremely rare natural event occurred in Ireland. Ex-Hurricane Ophelia - a Tropical Storm , arrived with winds exceeding 150 Kph. It left a trail of destruction in its wake as it mercifully traversed the land in just under 2 hours. The most tangible legacy was the enormous number of trees which were virtually uprooted. Eamonn Pearse and Eamonn Twomey of the Togher Historical Association drove around Deanrock Estate , Vicar's Road and the Lough to document the aftermath. The following videos show a snapshot of what they witnessed.
