UK flooding: Video shows woman wakeboarding during floods in Ireland

Flooding has made transport incredibly difficult in some areas with many discouraged using vehicles to get around.

Canoes have been the go-to choice; but one woman in Tipperary, Ireland has found a unique method.

The video above shows Lindsay Whelan being towed by a SUV while on a wakeboard.

Oisin Harding posted the footage on Facebook with the caption: “Been real Irish about things.”

Areas already suffering from severe flooding are set for more misery as Storm Frank hits the United Kingdom, bringing heavy rain and strong winds.

Cumbria and Central Scotland have been issued amber warnings for heavy rain which are expected to exacerbate current flooding conditions.

Gusts of 55-65mph are predicted across the next few days in western parts of UK with exposed areas experiencing winds of up to 70-80mph.
