Had enough hurricanes yet this year? Too bad, because Hurricane Ophelia has arrived, and she's giving Ireland the old one-two. Luckily, the Irish are a resilient folk, and their Twitter reactions to this fearsome storm make it crystal clear.

As they say in Ireland, here's the craic; whipping winds are wreaking havoc on the island nation, and have left 3 people dead so far and thousands without power. The whole country is on lockdown, with schools closed, buses cancelled, and even several grocery stores with valuable storm preparation goods (chips, beer, etc.) shuttered in anticipation of what one Twitter has deemed 'The Great Irish Trampoline Migration of 2017.' However, even a natural disaster like Ophelia isn't strong enough to damage the Irish spirit - and, evidently, their collective sense of humor.

Scroll down to see the best tweets to come from both the storm's build-up and commencement, and as always, stay safe and heed all advice from authorities if in the area.

We in the USA don't say lads enough. We need to make this a thing. Who's with me?

"First things first" is an important idiom in the English language. Or so I am told.

Those are our "law-abiding, RESPONSIBLE" gun owners so obviously shooting at hurricanes is a responsible thing to do.

Am I allowed to laugh at this joke? Or is it "too soon" for the gun-people?

No, he'll just try to scam your government to pay 1000x whatever damage his properties incur.

This looks like a serious kitchen. This person could cook up a good meal while drinking the whiskey.

The real fun comes after the storm. Sorting through the new stuff to keep or try to sell off for money.

Lol. It's accurate, not only because of Ireland, but because the land between Yorkshire and Edinbugh is apparently a no man's land devoid of settlement...

These annoy me. It's not a cultural thing. Did they not see the devastation from storms like Katrina? Americans aren't panicking...but absolutely, brag about being unprepared.

Never know when you're going to need a saw for your loaf of bread, though I did have a piece of toast the other day that I saved in case I need sandpaper and am all out.
