9 Irish perspectives on last night's windy weather

Oh, is it windy? I hadn’t noticed.

THE WHOLE COUNTRY was battered by some unmerciful winds last night.

Fringes were ruined, lie-ins were spoiled and tweets were sent.

1. I’ve always wondered what sounded like.

So that is the sound a trampoline makes when the wind liberates it from a back garden & it blows down the road...

2. That’s why we’re the best little country in the world.

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

3. YOU FAILED US, WEATHER ALERT.

There was nothing in the orange alert weather warning about the wind being able to mat my hair.

7. That’s divine intervention for you.

The cigarette that I'm not supposed to be smoking blew away in the wind.

8. Wind level: Wizard of Oz

In case I never tweet again, it's because I was blown to Oz, not Australia... I mean Oz. This wind is madness.

9. At least there’s this.

The only good thing about the wind outside is that you can pretend you're starring in an 80's music video or dramatic movie #WindMachine
