Stand up, Teresa Manion.
Social media has crowned you the official hero of Storm Desmond. Manion, a senior journalist with RTÉ News Galway, braved the stormy weather today just so the rest of us could feel an awful lot better about our present circumstances.
Watch the final 15 seconds of her news report, from Galway, here.

Twitter has since flooded (ha ha ha) with tweets in support of, laughing with and (as always) laughing at Ms. Manion’s misfortune.
Personally, we respect the hell out of her commitment to bringing us the news.
