Ireland craics us up with hilarious Twitter response to Hurricane Ophelia

Bored Panda compiled a list of the most hilarious tweets to reach social media after Hurricane Ophelia made its pass by Ireland.

Hurricane Ophelia is said to be the worst storm to hit Ireland…but forceful winds didn’t keep them from seeing the lighter side things:

*Just FIY: Craic is an Irish-English word, pronounced ‘crack’. It’s usually preceded by “the”. The craic means fun, or a good time, especially among a group of friends.

Ireland must be the only place in the world that looks forward to a hurricane just to see what the craic is with it ???????? #Ophelia — Peter (mufc) McGarry (@petermcg08) October 16, 2017
