THIS WEEKEND, THE only name on everyone’s lips was Teresa Mannion. The RTÉ News hero is still trending on Twitter this morning, after her amazing report from the eye of Storm Desmond in Galway on Saturday.

Now, a petition has been started to give our next storm its rightful name.

Storm Teresa. It’s only right. The petition currently stands at 728 and basically you need to sign it right now. People living in Canada, UAE, Hong Kong and Australia have signed it so far.

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

But wait. Storm Teresa looks highly unlikely, due to the list of designated storm names already set by the Met Office in the UK and Met Eireann.

Who’s missing? Teresa.
