River levels continue to rise as winds stay over 100kmh in places around Ireland

The aftermath of Storm Frank could be every bit as devastating as the initial onslaught of the weather according to weather services.

Many areas around the country, including Kildare, were hit by massive floods over the past three days as the heavy rainfall from the storm left rivers bursting their banks and caused businesses and homes to be left under a few feet of water.

Another Met Éireann wind warning is in place for today as gusts of up to 110kmh are expected to blow across some areas of the country. The ESB are also warning that water in the Lough Derg will reach levels similar to those of 2009 at some stage today.

The Irish Independent are also reporting that emergency services are fighting fatigue as they've been battling heavy floods for a number of weeks now in different areas, while their workload may only increase as there is a possibility of three more weeks of heavy flooding and rain.
