Twenty years ago tomorrow, 17 July 2002 wasn't a day for leaving your brolly behind in Newry as flash floods saw cars struggling to get through floods close to the Brass Monkey and Sandys Street in the city as well. RTE at the time also added that fire crews had to be called to Daisy Hill Hospital 'amid fears of flooding on the site' Roll the clock forward 20 years and it is certainly wet this week, just not quite as wet!
