With all schools and colleges closed in Ireland today - and half of the country's office drones 'working' from home - there's been a lot of chat about ex-Hurricane Ophelia on Twitter today.
It's hard to recall the last time a weather event had the country so united (Teresa Mannion aside, of course).
With that in mind, here are the best tweets about Storm Ophelia so far...

I bet by the time I come up with an #Ophelia joke it will have killed someone. And what use is it to me then?
