Cork escapes flooding but braces for Brian

An already storm-battered Cork City avoided flooding overnight but a weather warning remains in place for today.

The city, already in cleanup mode after Storm Ophelia, had been braced for flooding last evening but largely escaped unscathed.

However, a status orange wind remains in place for Cork from 3am to 9am today, with high winds expected to continue until lunchtime. However, no tidal flooding is expected.
