One of those evacuated was a Mother with a very young baby.
It looks like the worst fears of those living beside Lough Funshinagh have been realised.
Two homes have had to be evacuated and the Rahara road has been closed as water has spread from the lake.
Lough Funshinagh Flood Crisis group say one of those evacuated was a Mother with a very young baby.
It comes just days after Roscommon County Councillor Laurence Fallon warned flood defences were on the verge of failing.
The Rahara road will be closed for at least the rest of today.
