A commuter makes his way to work through flooded streets after torrential rain resulted in the major emergency plan being invoked in the County Dublin region, in Dublin October 25, 2011. Two people died and hundreds were stranded in northern and estern Ireland on Tuesday after torrential rain closed roads and rail lines, left shops and homes under water and led to the capital, Dublin, being put on an emergency footing.
