Strabane Flood 1987

[@Silver-505]

It's fascinating to look back at these old memories of Strabane.

Corrina Lindsay Yeah i live in strabane and im 7 and da year the flood was on it was one day after 21 october and my b day is on 21 october but im 7 almost 8

[@matinee310]

It was strange that day we had our own search and rescue none of us felt we could acknowledge any help from anyone in a uniform... we sorted our own problems those days..A lot of memories seeing all those old faces many have passed away... but we still queued for the flood damage sales a month later! You can take the lad out of strabane but you can't take the strabane out of the lad!
