Donegal County Council is reporting a number of trees down in several areas that are blocking roads.
Sheeps Lane Raphoe (Upper End) is closed due to fallen ESB wires. Avoid the area until the danger has been removed. The ESB is urging people to keep away from fallen or low hanging wires. Call their Emergency Number 1800 372 999 to report any issues.
Thousands of homes across Donegal remain without power this morning, but supply is expected to be fully restored this evening.
The N15 Killygordon to Stranorlar has now fully reopened after a tree was cleared.
Donegal County Council Director of Roads and Transportation, Bryan Cannon, said that the impact of Isha was felt early on yesterday with instances of spot flooding across the county, with many trees falling in advance of the Status Red warning.
He said that homes and businesses suffered significant structural damage and the mobile phone network was disrupted.
He warned road users to exercise caution today because there will be widespread disruption as crews and other agencies attempt to clear the roads.
