Irish Reporter Breaks the Internet With Storm Coverage

RTÉ correspondent Teresa Mannion is getting a lot of online attention after her broadcast during Storm Desmond went viral in the UK over the weekend. The storm, which has forced thousands from their homes due to flooding, was a menacing force, but it didn’t stop Mannion. Her report included intense visuals and impassioned pleas for the general public to stay safe. In the end, her braving the weather took the Internet by storm, and before long the general public tweeted about her broadcast, sent around Photoshopped images, and of course distributed video mashups. The real measure of her success could come in the form of a petition moving to name the next major storm after her. Her Internet stardom may very well outlast the memory of the storm that gave rise to it.
