Ireland is braced for a spell of severe weather this week as Tropical Storm Lorenzo is set to hit tomorrow afternoon.
The news broke today that from Cork through counties Kerry, Clare, Limerick, Galway and Mayo are classed as an orange warning. A yellow warning exists for the rest of the counties.
The reaction to this news has been typical of this nation; facetiousness while varying from self-deprecating to outright cynicism.
Orange? Fucking Orange Met Éireann? Are you fucking serious? All you had to do was fucking over react to a weather anomaly like you used to so i could get a fucking day off work and you can't even do that right you absolute bunch of teaspoons

In terms of safety concerns, the National Emergency Coordination Group will continue to provide updates, crisis management teams are ready to go and a weather warning is in place from 9am Thursday.
In terms of solace, we have memes. No outlet is a better representation of the Irish ability to find humour in literally anything than the Ireland Simpsons Fans page.
