Good evening. the latest on

:00:00.:00:00.

Storm Desmond has been wreaking havoc in Northern Ireland.

:00:07.:00:09.

The Fire and Rescue Service says it has responded to 31 flooding

:00:10.:00:13.

incidents, rescuing 24 people, in Counties Fermanagh, Londonderry

:00:14.:00:16.

and Tyrone since yesterday evening because of heavy rain.

:00:17.:00:20.

Ten people were helped to safety during one incident in Strabane

:00:21.:00:24.

while in Dungannon 31 retailing units were hit by an overnight flood

:00:25.:00:28.

Damage to stock is estimated in the millions of pounds.

:00:29.:00:34.

31 retail units on the Linen Green shopping complex

:00:35.:00:50.

on the outskirts of Dungannon hit by the overnight flood.

:00:51.:00:53.

Estimated cost of stock lost run into millions of pounds.

:00:54.:01:00.

This is Christmas stock and it is unfortunate to happen

:01:01.:01:03.

I am looking at ?30-40,000 worth of stock.

:01:04.:01:09.

The basement storeroom was wiped out here.

:01:10.:01:11.

The main shop floor is elevated so it didn't get as much

:01:12.:01:13.

of the flood but our storeroom is completely wiped out and we are left

:01:14.:01:22.

This is the high part of the shopping complex.

:01:23.:01:26.

This photo taken first thing this morning shows what it was

:01:27.:01:29.

We were as prepared as we could be for this but we had a very

:01:30.:01:48.

significant rainfall and it brought debris down.

:01:49.:01:57.

Shop owners hope to be open for business again

:01:58.:01:59.

In Clady, a digger was used to help bring an elderly man to safety.

:02:00.:02:07.

On the outskirts of Clady, it was a long night for these residents.

:02:08.:02:32.

The couple at this has left but across the road another couple stuck

:02:33.:02:41.

it out. How far up the water come?

:02:42.:02:46.

The water was up to here and the Rivers Agency guys brought

:02:47.:02:49.

sandbags for the back and front of the house at about 6pm.

:02:50.:02:52.

The fire brigade then arrived to see if I wanted to go out in the boat.

:02:53.:02:56.

In the town itself, the border was closed.

:02:57.:03:12.

The shop was restarted three weeks ago after another flood.

:03:13.:03:17.

It is hoped to subside over coming days and

:03:18.:03:29.

Canisters have been dumped by the flooding water.

:03:30.:03:35.

In County Fermanagh, a number of roads are closed due to flooding

:03:36.:03:40.

including the Acres, a housing development off

:03:41.:03:41.

For one man, a flooded road in Maguiresbridge

:03:42.:03:45.

He says the rain has had a devastating effect on the area.

:03:46.:03:55.

Two security alerts in Londonderry have now ended.

:03:56.:03:57.

Spencer Road and the city's railway station were closed yesterday

:03:58.:04:00.

following reports that explosive devices had been left in both areas.

:04:01.:04:03.

The PSNI say following searches nothing untoward was found.

:04:04.:04:11.

Now, after all the heavy rain of the past few days, let's see if we're

:04:12.:04:20.

Today might have been a better day but there was plenty of evidence

:04:21.:04:27.

from storm Desmond, particularly our across parts of the West. There will

:04:28.:04:36.

be further showers and it will often be windy. After a chilly start,

:04:37.:04:42.

temperatures are rising and the breeze is picking up as well.

:04:43.:04:47.

Tomorrow, pretty unsettled. The wind is a key feature and so is rain.

:04:48.:04:53.

That batch of rain will probably move away towards the end of the

:04:54.:04:59.

rush and global have a dry morning. The wet and windy weather extends up

:05:00.:05:03.

towards Scotland. There are warnings in place there. Try and brighter

:05:04.:05:09.

across England and Wales and fairly mild for much of the country. In the

:05:10.:05:15.

afternoon, we get another batch of rain living in across Ireland. That

:05:16.:05:20.

will give persistent and heavy bursts of rain. Strong blustery

:05:21.:05:25.

winds as well. A Met Office warning is place for the rain, given there

:05:26.:05:29.

is already flooding and saturated ground. That weather front moves out

:05:30.:05:35.

of the way but another couple of weather systems living in on Tuesday

:05:36.:05:40.

and into Wednesday with plenty of ice bars so it will be very windy.

:05:41.:05:46.

Blustery on Tuesday, eventually cleaving from the south-east where

:05:47.:05:49.

it will be dry and bright. Bright and the North as well with the

:05:50.:05:53.

future is on Tuesday. The little bit cooler then turning milder as we

:05:54.:05:57.

head into Wednesday. Wet across northern areas. More warnings in

:05:58.:06:05.

place for localised flooding. Dryer and brighter towards the south-east

:06:06.:06:08.

and hopefully for Northern Ireland, by the time we get to Thursday, it

:06:09.:06:13.

will be brighter. Just a few showers but still breezy and cooler again.

:06:14.:06:15.

And that's it from us until 6:25am.

:06:16.:06:17.

Until then you can keep up to date with local news on BBC Radio Ulster

:06:18.:06:22.

From everyone here on BBC Newsline, goodnight.
