Lives had to be prioritised during the weekend's heavy flooding in the north west, NIFRSOFFICIAL says northwestfloods

It is an area that has been badly affected by flooding over recent years.She said she had been out for a time on Saturday evening. When she returned home at about 21:30 BST, it was "just carnage".

As those fronts moved in against quite warm and humid air, it created very unstable convection conditions with rapidly rising air. To put that into context, 40mm is almost half of what you would expect to get during the whole month of July.Of-course it didn't help that there was more rain for a time yesterday and there's a little more today but nothing like we had at the weekend.

Some design and ground works have been under taken in relation to flood schemes in Eglinton and Drumahoe," he said
