IT WAS ANOTHER week of rain, wind and general misery.
Homes and cars were destroyed, businesses interrupted and everyday life put on hold.
Despite the gloom, many people took the opportunity to capture some of the wonders of nature…or have a bit of fun.
These are some of the best photos and videos sent to TheJournal.ie over the past seven days, many of which we unfortunately didn’t get to publish.

Great pictures!!! But seriously, why do folks insist on trying to get so god damb close for the a phot when there waves crashing over break waters etc?? Idiots!! There putting other peoples lives at risk aswell as their own!!!
I don’t think the journal should be supporting this cos people are idiots, guarantee someone will fall off a harbour this week it’ll be all over the news
They had a story asking photographers and the like not to temp faith a few weeks ago. Now they publish the photos.????????
Those lads in the kayaks seems like a right pair of cocks.
The 1st video refuses to work. Says “This video is currently unavailable”
Hi Garry,
Thanks for flagging that, the video should be working now. Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)

And this is why Cork will never be the capital city.
So no flooding north of Dublin then.
No decent photos sent to The Journal maybe?
We keep hearing about Welsh Water and how great it is, lets storm them this afternoon!
Oh my lord, there are some incredibly stupid people out there. The clip with woman and dog scarcer me!
Perhaps photo number 5 of an elderly lady struggling through floodwaters with her shopping is slightly misplaced in such a lighthearted article under the heading of ‘fun’.
have your say
