Omagh

Twenty four hours of rain in Omagh left many acres of farmland under water around Omagh in Co Tyrone. Most dramatically effected were the fields and rugby pitches beside the mart where water levels were high enough to submerge perimeter fencing. The mart itself is on a higher site than the surrounding fields and not effected by the floods.
