'''Flommen i Storbritannia og Irland''' var et uvær i [[Storbritannia]] og [[Irland]] i midten av november [[2009]].<ref>[http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/article3384528.ece#xtor=RSS-3 Artikkel i Aftenposten]</ref>

Kraftig regn og orkanbyger forårsaket ødeleggelser og flom sør for Storbritannia 13.-14. november. Uværet beveget seg først søvover og deretter nordover. 19.–20. november ble mange tettsteder i [[Cumbria]] og [[Dumfries and Galloway]] rammet. Tre bruer kollapset, hvorav en politimann døde på den ene.<ref name="BBC Barker">

|quote=Large areas of the western side of the city are seriously flooded including the Water Treatment Plant on the Lee Road. As a result, Cork City Council cannot treat water and about 40 per cent of the city has experienced supply disruption. The Council said this figure is expected to increase as the day progresses and the available treated water in the reservoirs is consumed.}}</ref>
