A lifeboat was used to help people to safety after Northern Ireland was hit by floods over the weekend. Rivers burst their banks, bridges were washed away and dozens of roads closed across the province, writes Press Association, The Guardian, Monday August 18 2008 at http://www.guardian.co.uk.

The RNLI lifeboat went door to door rescuing people from their homes in Bryansford, Co Down. The Northern Ireland fire and rescue service had to help people from their homes in Belfast and Counties Down, Armagh and Antrim. The Westlink road to the M1 in Belfast was blocked by floodwater (right). Some places saw up to three-quarters of the normal August rainfall.
