After thirty-five consecutive days of rain in County Fermanagh throughout November 2009, the water levels on Lough Erne rose to 158ft above sea level (Ballyshannon). This was the highest since records began in 1956. The busy county town of Enniskillen didn't escape the high water by any means, here, Derrychara Link - which provides access from the Erneside Shopping Centre to Tesco as well as to a lot of commercial premises - finds itself impassible.
