People are being urged to stay clear of fallen debris and check in on vulnerable neighbours as Donegal feels the effects of Storm Amy.
Donegal County Council say their crews are currently dealing with blockages on a priority basis.
While the majority of the main roads are passable, the public are advised to be mindful of fallen debris and surface water, posing difficult driving conditions.
The ESB has advised members of the public not to touch or approach fallen wires or a damaged electricity network, as they are “live and extremely dangerous”, and to report any damage to electricity infrastructure.
The public can monitor www.PowerCheck.ie. in regards to power restoration times.
