Oh Henry! Irish people could NOT hack the stress of the wind today

Another day, another ridiculously strong gust of wind to knock you over as you get off the Luas.

Ireland got smacked in the face with the brunt of Storm Henry this morning, as 110 km/hr winds arrived to start the week off on the right foot.

Twitter was awash with unfortunate commuters who saw their lives (and umbrellas) flash before their eyes as yet another gust blew in.

Here are a few of the most tragic tales from our newsfeed this morning:

1. This girl who had a VERY good reason to stay indoors

Can't be going out in that wind, the wind will hit me in the face then I'll have a whopper asthma attack and that's not on my agenda today

2. And this girl, who felt the same 

Like I'm genuinely struggling to breath with this wind in my face

3. This story of pure, unadulterated horror 

€20 just fell out of my pocket & disappeared into the wind on the Malahide road. Don't cry for me, I'm already dead. pic.twitter.com/fSu4eNaapB

4. This lad who was willing to make a plea bargain with The Lord himself 

If I make into Maynooth even based off the velocity of that wind, I'll consider becoming a born again Christian.

5. This fella who still remembered his manners despite the manky weather 

I'm tired of this motherflipping wind on this motherflipping island (can't bring myself to sweat on Twitter)

6. This terrified commuter 

The wind is actually shaking the bus, do not wanna get off

7. And this lad who probably pulled a sickie in the end 

The sound of that howling wind is making it very difficult to leave my duvet cocoon. #cosy
