"Don't make unnecessary journeys, don't take risks on treacherous roads."
Today is the tenth anniversary of #TeresaMannion's five minutes of global fame.
On 5th December 2015, Mannion broadcast live on RTÉ's Six One News from the promenade at #Salthill in #Galway as #StormDesmond raged. She got carried away, and the original clip went viral, followed by several remixes going viral too.
It's still fun ❤️ #RTE

LONG POST ON #ELNINO / #FLOODING
As we hear of the effects of the #ClimateEmergency round the world, and see #flooding in #Norway I am reminded of #StormDesmond that hit #Cumbria between 5th & 6th Dec 2015. In 48 hours #Thirlmere in #LakeDistrict recorded 405mm of rainfall in combination with severe gales up to 81mph. This was an El Nino year.It was the 4th major storm of the autumn. The ground and the lakes were already saturated.
