The WEIRDEST Flood In History

In 1875 one of the strangest disasters struck the city of Dublin. A flood, it took the city completely by surprise, as floods often do. But this was a disaster unlike any other - here's why.

"It's Whiskey!"
"But it's on fire!"
A true Irish dilemma

[PosersMustChase]

"My God. The weeping..."
"Of the mothers of drowned children?"
"No..."

All these Irishmen lying down on the sidewalk with their mouths open.

"Those jokes have all been done so i have no choice but to be serious."

I lol'd.

And I thought the Boston Molasses Flood was bad.

The Eskify cult is here on time.

This reminds me of the Boston flood

[Lammyever]

Aw, geez, I didn't think about the fire. That would be absolutely horrifying.

Clothes swept away? If I'm caught in a whiskey flood I wouldn't need clothes anyway. I'd just happily run naked in the streets drinking whiskey. Wisdom.

They went out like I hope to go out. . . drowning in whiskey.

"Look how Russian those cars are"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well, they are in Russia.

More people died from alcohol poisoning than from the entire city catching fire.

The cars at the end?? 100%! Always appreciate an Eskify post❤

[coolcoyote]

[Mr.Guild]

GREAT TO SEE ANOTHER POST !
They Mollasses flood in the USA had more deaths but I'm sure it had to be hilarious in some ways

[WarBeasty]

And let us not forget the Great Piscataway Pudding Deluge Of 1917!!! The whole town was flooded with deliciousness, and was known afterwards as Flavortown, until the cleanup effort was completed.

BYSTANDER 1: Why waste a good, aged, flooded drink?
BYSTANDER 2: Yeah, let's drink some
PARAMEDIC: Just make sure you're both insured before doing that.

Given that alcohol is a solvent, the idea of people drinking liquor that.. was street-aged.. who knows, what ended up in that foul liquid
But hey, I bet it looked really clean around there for a few weeks after!

There also was once a flood of melasse that killed several people, though I don't remember when and where.
