It was labelled a 'disaster zone' and the day Storm Ali arrived at the Ploughing certainly shook the championships to the core.
With orange weather warnings in place and people travelling from around the country to the site in Offaly in 2018, shocking video footage emerged from exhibitors inside.
The videos, including this one from Connacht Agri Suppliers, were viewed millions of times as organisers scrambled in the background.
