Sure there's no Irish storm without a rake of trampolines flying about the place.

Last night, Gardaí in Thurles, County Tipperary found a trampoline that had been blown away by the winds of Storm Hannah. It was found at around 3am this morning on the M8 northbound. https://twitter.com/CorkCoypu/status/1121870287971205134 It seems some children must have woken up to a rather empty-looking back yard this morning. https://twitter.com/GardaTraffic/status/1122075099933347841?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1122075099933347841&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.joe.ie%2Flife-style%2Fpic-gardai-discover-trampoline-m8-3am-666917 The trampoline was found near Twomileborris. The Garda took to Twitter this morning to say:  "Thurles Gardaí removed a trampoline from the M8 northbound at 3 am this morning at Two Mile Borris during Storm Hannah. Some poor child is waking up this morning with no trampoline in the garden!" We hope the trampoline is returned to its rightful owner!
