SINCE STORM DESMOND, RTÉ journalist Teresa Mannion has single-handedly become the nation’s storm spokesperson.

You can say it’s bad all you want, but we won’t believe it until we hear it from Teresa.

Now, as Storm Ophelia engulfs Ireland, Teresa is back on the streets to chide the nation and warn of the perils of unnecessary journeys and treacherous roads.

What should her fanbase be called? I’m voting for ‘Mann-iacs’.

She’s become a unit of measurement. Category 3? Nah. This is Teresa level stuff.

She defies her own public pleas to bring the public the information that they deserve.

In fairness, she can captivate an audience.

Whoops!

And when she does stay calm, she is capable of reassuring the masses.

Whoops!

Do NOT take the Lord’s name in vain.

And TRY to spell it right lads. No ‘h’.

She can part storm clouds á la Moses and the Red Sea.

Is it possible though, that she has just become her catchphrase?

New hero my arse.

Who else would risk their life to report the news *and* manage to look good at the same time?

Four for you Teresa! You go Teresa.

We’re dedicating this one to her.
