And with that he was gone.
Thank you, life-saving, barely-clothed, narcissistic flood guy.
Watch the drama unfold here.

A timelapsed Dublin in black and white.
Richard Waghorn writes:
I had a free weekend (weekend just gone) and given that the weather was not going to be good I thought I would make good use of the situation. So I set out to do a time lapse, making use of the high winds and cloud to exaggerate the movement, and because of the weather, decided to shoot it in black and white as the natural colours were washed out.
I shot six sequences on Friday evening in Dublin Bay and at bridges along the River Liffey, then on Saturday I spent the day at Dun Laoghaire harbour shooting the lighthouse and boats.
On Sunday morning I shot the sequences at Grand Canal Dock, St Stephens Green and Trinity College. Finally, I spent Sunday night in the bay doing a sequence with a near cloud-free sky and managed to capture the movement of the stars.
Richard used a Canon 5D Mark II and Canon 17-40mm lens, and edited on Final Cut Pro.

“People in Douglas say this grid was blocked and when the river rose the blockage caused the flooding.”
Chairman of the newly formed Fine Gael LGBT group, Jerry Buttimer TD (above), said he is delighted that the newly appointed Lord Mayor of Dublin, Naoise O’Muirí, will march with the Party’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender group this Saturday at the annual Pride Parade in Dublin.
Deputy Buttimer said this year’s Pride Festival will be of particular significance to Fine Gael as it is the first year the Party will have an obvious presence at the parade.
“It is with a tremendous sense of pride that I will be taking part in this year’s parade, given that it is the first year Fine Gael will have a visible presence, in the form of our LGBT group which first met back in April.

It’s a lovely German nun I met in Ballsbridge [Dublin] during the Eucharistic Congress a couple of weeks ago. She was talking to a monk at the time and I was waiting for my friend to finish a sandwich so I went over for a chat. I’ve always wanted to take a nun’s portrait and she was a joy. She said she would pray for me but its probably too late to be honest.
