GALWAY has already had their fair share of flooding and bad weather, however, it looks like Storm Eleanor is nowhere near finished with her path.
The storm was expected to pass quickly through the emerald isle before hitting Britain, where winds can be expected to hit 80mph.
Winds have been predicted to hit up to 130 km/h in counties Dublin, Carlow, Kildare, Laois, Longford, Louth, Wicklow, Offaly, Westmeath, Meath, South Galway, Clare, Limerick and Tipperary.
Co. Galway has been hit particularly bad, with entire roads in the city completely flooded and deemed out of use.
The city centre has been hit with strong floods outside shops, pubs and houses and can be seen below.
Holy sugar. Galway in the grips of #StormEleanor.
