Oh Ophelia, you've been on my mind girl since the flood
It's a good storm :) wanna no why? No school for 3-5days!!!!(only in Ireland sorry I'm from Dublin)
*2 days
Katie Marie Plus we never get hurricanes, I'm sick of the normal weather we have.
Lick me hard you are stupid if you want to have hurricanes
Oh yeah fuck those three deceased people, we should have hurricanes more often because that means we get 3 days off and anyway it's bout time this weather show some versatility I'm so tired of boring normal weather.
In case you're wondering I'm being sarcastic.
In Ireland,we celebrate,we get sick of school and the weather
NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!!!!!
Callum O'Neill 🤣🤣🤣
I swear to jasus if the BCC calls ireland British one more fecking time
The Island of Ireland is part of the British isles, that's geographical, not political, some Irish people can't seem to tell the difference and it makes the rest look bad
Lewis hahahaha
Lewis
The Irish government does not recognize this term because it is a term England labelled us when you still thought you owned us. You used the same excuse for nominating Saoirse Ronan as best "British" actress years ago. We are Ireland, an Irish isle. Your media does not possess us, neither do you. We never had any say in that and we don't recognize that.
Lewis
Just wanted to add that pigheaded Brits in the media or otherwise who refuse to let go of their colonial name for another country even though it's clearly dated and disrespectful, well THAT makes the rest look bad. #Irishisle #Emeraldisle
Puca Power did you not hear him call the country republic of Ireland in he first 5 seconds of the video?
I don't get how is there a hurricane in Ireland when we are far from the equator
It came up from the tropics, but it weakened to the point where it's not technically a hurricane anymore
Tonight the storms hitting us and I'm really scared
l live in Ireland and all schools and colleges are closed.
It's crazy mad here thanks for the support and nice comments😿
Love to Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪❤️❤️From Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪❤️❤️
Getting crazy in the South East we have five trees down on the road
Its was crazy in ballyphane park the trees blew down
Bear Grylls Reporting back from Galway there (Y)
view in Dublin is czcams.com/video/wYh7BaTeM7k/video.html
😂
GOD BLESS THEM
I'm in wales and today in school we were literally being blown away
So bad a 12 stone man can calmly report on the sea front.
And a cameraman holding a camera that weighs about 10kg
blown out of proportion.
How high will it go??
right now its in donegal,the tip of ireland
It's headed towards Wales Scotland England. All of UK will be affected I don't know how badly though
I'm from Ireland.I just stayed inside and was fine because my house is nowhere near the coast.But there was no wifi):
#prayforIreland
Bloody hell! I'm in the north of England and its crazy here! I'm so cold!
I live in Ireland and I went through the storm
When will the BBC learn its not Republic of Ireland its not the Irish Republic its just Ireland respect our wishes

Callum Dunworth 😂😂😂
🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪We All Stay Strong
Do _ Hagan Of course we're strong we are Irish it's in our nature to be strong. 💗🇮🇪🇮🇪😀
What's he holding in his hands?!?! 🤔😱😨
Jay Kay microphone I think
Jay Kay
It's the boom mic. Usually a boom man/woman holds it out of view from the camera but because of the strong winds it would be incredibly difficult to hold securely, so the reporter held so he could be heard.
😱 That Accent Though!!! 😱
Jay Kay its an English accent
I think the reporter is from Northern Ireland too!
I live in Ireland and 36000 people don't have power it's the worst storm in 60 years
It's sooooo windy and the sun was glowing bright red
Bring that poor man in and give him a cup of tea
It’s in Offaly and I live in Offaly it’s really bad
I’m Irish I live in Kerry where it hit first.ive got multiple cuts because the wind blew me into a few walls.i was one of the lucky few to not lose power
I am in Monaghan and I am still waiting for Ophelia to come
This is hitting me right now and it's 6:41 people
I live in Ireland and we were lucky in our home to have power and wifi going though we lost the tree in our front garden
Everyone is banging on about the weather as if they have nothing else to talk about - just get on with your lives.
I'm in Galway Ophelia has passed it was SCARY
Welcome to Fla,Georgia,South and North Carolina
Init it's so sad
I live in England and the storm is suppose to hit me later in the night/early morning I'm scared for dear life prayers go to everyone in ireland
By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes. LMFAO.
I'm in Ireland and the storm is coming to my county right this second !
I'm in this storm and the tree in my back garden bend all the way down to the ground
Coinnigh Éire Shábháilte Keep safe Ireland
And my friends trampoline fell down
I am surprised one of the 3 that died was not a
SURFER
DUDE
Am I the only one excited to be in the hurricane?
R.I.P...
I'm so sad
Pray for me in ireland
Didn’t get much in Somerset. Just the sky went really yellow-y for a while, basking everything in an almost golden light. And a strong breeze, of course.
if no reporter is filmed being blown around - did the storm happen?
Lol I'm from England and the storm hit the place where I live, I'm in Spain on holiday for a week
The storm isn't that bad
Love to Ireland
We're not part of the British isles for your information
We are but, most Irish people dont like to admit it, Personally I'm Irish and don't care if Ireland is considered part of the British Isles, Its a geographical term nothing political
Exactly, that is why I try to limit that term to geography and nothing else.
'British' isles is a term chosen by the Brits and implies that the islands within it are 'British'. It took us 800 years and countless lives to earn the right not to be 'British'- therefore the term is inaccurate and should not be used. No self-respecting Irish person should ever accept or believe that we're part of the British isles- shame on you.
I don't think you need to bring politics into this, if you have a problem with the BBC using the term British Isles then that's your business. Call the islands what you want, Ireland and Great Britain or The British Isles, It's a geographical term. I also do not personally use the term "British Isles" but have no issue with it, I take no shame in accepting that this term is used by some. Please don't bring unwanted and unnecessary politics into a simple discussion on an ex-hurricane that has claimed 3 lives. Thank You
Oh wait this was a discussion on the hurricane? Sorry, fairly sure if you look at the comment thread you'll see that this discussion has absolutely nothing to do with the hurricane and is only to do with the use of the term 'British isles'. It's not political to say that the term literally means British islands, and that as a republic and no longer part of Britain, Ireland is not a British island. That's a fact. Trying to switch over to the hurricane and pull a guilt trip because you have no argument is just sad.
People in Galway were swimming in that in the beach like WTF people are crazy
To be honest it's not that bad right now cause it's only raining a bit
Tree fell on my friends house.
crow feathers I hope they are safe
I'm in Clare. It was pretty bad. A couple of vents came off the front of my house as well as a sensor light. Places like Cork and Kerry got destroyed as a result of being coastal counties. A roof flew off a schools sports hall in Cork! It was really dangerous. Obviously considering the 3 deaths
Laura Bracken is it coming to Meath 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I am in the storm and it is very crazy
*Tropical storm. GET IT RIGHT BBC.
I'm in the strongest part of the storm but the good thing is I got no school
