Larne affected by flooding
People had to battle against the elements as a storm hit the region. The Coast Road was one of the worst affected areas, and it had to close due to landslides.
There was also flooding at the Highways Hotel, and the river in Ballygally burst its banks. House holders were advised by the Association of British Insurers to carry out emergency repairs to prevent further damage.
