‘Jaysis’: These Are Some Of The Best Tweets About #StormEleanor

Storm Eleanor caused widespread destruction across Ireland last night and this morning, with gale force winds reaching 155km/h. The high winds led to serious localised flooding in Galway and approximately 16,000 homes and businesses were left without power.

But, as per usual, Twitter has been looking on the bright side with witty memes, gifs and jokes about the weather. Check out some of our faves below:

The wind is not on my side this evening. Apparently it doesn't matter what direction I walk in, the wind isn't going that way. #StormEleanor

All joking aside though, heavy rain and wind are expected to continue throughout this evening and tonight, so take care when out and about. Roof tiles and tree branches may have loosened or weakened so stay inside where possible.
