Watch: Storm Eleanor Blew In Another Surprise For Teresa Mannion
Teresa Mannion is an Irish hero. Not only does she stand outside during Ireland's most brutal weather conditions, she manages to make us laugh.
None of us will ever forget that moment when Theresa spoke the words "Don't make unnecessary journeys" during Storm Desmond in 2015. Nobody expected Eleanor to whip up what appears to be an American fan waving a flag behind Teresa and her second coming:

The moment was quickly noted by Twitter users who couldn't help but wonder why RTÉ keeps throwing Teresa literally in to the deep end:
Theresa Mannion back at it again out in #stormeleanor in the Spanish Arch, Galway. She has her hat scarf and Superdry jacket on ready to be blown away bless her

What's up with the anti-American protester behind @TeresaMannion as she reports on #stormeleanor? Of course RTE sends Teresa out to Spanish Arch. Let the woman inside already.

A small few are even linking these storms to Teresa Mannion, a secret weapon of weather:

Is it witchcraft or just a coincidence?
