SO STORM BARNEY has arrived into Ireland and is causing some traffic chaos across the country this evening.

Amongst all those real struggles though, we’re still managing to have the craic:

1. Things were blown places they weren’t supposed to be

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

2. Across the country people took necessary precautions for the commute home

8. Even the Fire Brigade gave their warnings using Barney himself

Or, at least, optimism was high.

15. Rude Storm Barney, have you no manners?

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

16. And finally, a Barney-themed tweet from the Gardai to keep us safe

I watch you
You watch me
Get home to your family
When you watch the road & avoid a thing or two
Put on your lights & I’ll avoid you too .

We’ll be humming that all night. Stay safe out there.
