Holy crap, this is crazy.

Storm Barney is tearing across the country at the minute with vicious high winds and heavy rain showers in most places.

There’s an Orange Alert weather warning for Clare, Dublin, Galway, Kerry, Limerick and Wicklow so people living there can expect the brunt of it.

There’s also a Yellow Alert warning in place for Carlow, Cork, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Meath, Offaly, Tipperary, Waterford, Westmeath and Wexford.

An Garda Síochána have been urging people to be vigilant and sensible in the bad weather, and they’ve posted a video on Facebook highlighting potential dangers for motorists.

This footage was taken onboard a Garda burglary response car in Blanchardstown on November 12 during Storm Abigail, it’s terrifying.
