Storm Bert weather live: Man dies after tree falls on car as Storm Bert brings heavy snow and winds to UK
My bakery was hit by Storm Babet, now it’s flooded from Storm Bertpublished at 15:02 Greenwich Mean Time
A bakery in Cork in the Irish Republic has flooded for the second time, after Storm Babet caused significant damage last October.
Rebecca Mullen, who owns The Flour House bakery in Riverstock, says it’s important small businesses can survive weather systems. Last year the bakery received grants from the Red Cross to help fix damage caused by Storm Babet.
“Without those grants we really wouldn’t have a business today,” she tells PA news agency.
“Saturday is one of our busiest days, we’ve already had to cancel a market because of the weather system, so now we’ve obviously had to shut the shop today, so we’ll be losing money there.
“I’ve done deliveries of cakes today where I can to the people who have ordered, but now it’s the clean up, its the cost of getting the staff back in, extra hours, working out what is salvageable and what isn’t, she says.
Red rain warnings were in place for Cork and Galway until 10:00 on Saturday.
