Storm Desmond Is In Full Swing And Twitter Is Hopping

It's storm weather at the minute with Barney, Abigail, Clodagh and now Desmond making their presences felt in recent weeks. This evening, Desmond is running riot and according to Met Éireann, the worst hit areas are Donegal, Kerry, Clare and Galway. The red weather status is in operation and if you try to go outside the door, you'll battle to stay upright. Homes in Donegal and Galway are without electricity, flights are being cancelled and people are taking to Twitter to complain about Desmond's antics.

Why in the name of jaysus would you name a storm Desmond ???

Seriously though who names these storms? Apparently there's a 'Storm Desmond' on its way. Please, I ain't scared of no Desmond
