Midlands town hit by freak flood and mudslides

A freak mudslide and flood hit one town as the rest of the country enjoyed summery sunshine.

Doon, which is nestled in the countryside along the Limerick-Tipperary border, was hit by a deluge of water and filth in a freak storm on Thursday evening.

Bridges were swept away, homes were flooded, and graves at a cemetery were swamped when torrential rain poured down, lasting for an hour.
