What was meant to be a peaceful tour through Northern Ireland’s Marble Arch Caves quickly turned into a race against nature. Tourists were trapped deep underground as torrential rain sent floodwater pouring into the caves — turning staircases into waterfalls and cutting off exits. With power out and water rising, staff acted fast, leading soaked visitors to safety through cascading floodwaters. Thankfully, everyone made it out safe — but the drama didn’t stop there. Flash floods, hosepipe bans, and chaotic weather continue to hit the UK hard, with experts warning this could be just the beginning.
