'Swimming wheelie bins' - Irish people are not disappointing with Twitter reactions to Storm Barra
While Storm Barra is causing disruption with power outages and flooding in coastal areas. Irish people have been finding the funny side with flying trampolines and swimming wheelie bins making their way to Twitter.
Take a look at some of the best tweets from the lighter side of the weather.
If anyone is missing a wheely bin, it's floating around in Cork Harbour at the moment. Vid: Yvonne W. #StormBarra pic.twitter.com/JD0VmE7sIw

Overreaction by authorities to #StormBarra, as usual. Other areas, like Jupiter and Saturn, regularly have 800mph winds without locking down their societies, yet here we are closing down over 150kmh winds. Another assault on freedom.

We don't get 'storms' in Ireland. It gets fierce windy or it's bucketing. #StormBarra ?
