'Don't make unnecessary journeys' meme resurfaces as Storm Eunice hits the UK

'Don't make unnecessary journeys' meme resurfaces as Storm Eunice hits the UK

As Storm Eunice batters the UK today, the Met Office has issued red weather warnings across the South of England and urged people to stay indoors.

Of course with the news coverage of the storm , we will inevitably see poor news reporters out on the front lines battling the treacherous conditions to provide updates on the weather - and this has reminded people of a classic weather meme.

Irish journalist Teresa Mannion knows all too well the struggle of giving a live news report in extreme wind and rain after a clip of her coverage of Storm Desmond when viral back in 2015 which battered Ireland's west coast of Galway where she was reporting from in Salthill.

In the clip, the RTE News reporter is drenched while struggling to stand still against the strong winds and can be seen holding her earpiece and clutching her microphone in place as she dramatically shouts her latest updates, which delivered the iconic quote:

"Don’t make unnecessary journeys, don’t take risks on treacherous roads.”

As a result of becoming a viral sensation, several hilarious parodies and remixes of the video were created to solidify its meme status

So given the similarly awful weather that's occurring right now, it's a warning message that certainly resonates and this has led to the meme resurfacing as people on social media reshare the classic clip.

Mannion previously revealed what it was like to become an overnight viral sensation, she told RSVP Magazine : "It was absolutely treacherous and I didn’t know that I was shouting as loudly as I was because I was in my own little bubble.

"The weather intensified as the report continued, but I couldn’t stop because we were live and the rest is history," she said.

"Within 48 hours the report had gone all around the world, there were dances remixes, memes and so many offspins created after the bulletin. I totally embraced it and took it on-board, there was very little negativity afterwards and I wasn’t trolled online."

Elsewhere, Ireland has also felt the wrath of Storm Eunice with tens of thousands of homes currently without power in the south of the country and as a result, it has caused schools and colleges across the Republic to close today (February 18).

RTE Reeling in the Years viewers are all talking about one moment as the iconic Teresa Mannion clip resurfaces on our screens.

Since 2015, people have been begging Mannion to say those four famous words: “Don’t make unnecessary journeys!”

The video clip of her rain-drenched, wind-whipped Storm Desmond report went viral six years ago and Mannion suddenly became an internet meme.

Though Teresa wasn't even sure if people could hear her back in the studio, she ploughed through the report, all the while clinging desperately to her hood in County Galway.

Despite the attention on social media, the mother of two wasn't trolled and she became an instant legend instead.

Here’s what Twitter users had to say about the clip returning to our televisions:

A user said: “Teresa a solid six years ahead of the plan from Government for COVID with the 'unnecessary journeys' advice”

Another said: “How many times do you think poor ould Teresa Mannion has "don't make unnecessary journeys!" shouted at her on a daily basis?”

A third person tweeted: “Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the genius at RTÉ who put in that “don’t make unnecessary journeys” speech. God bless St Teresa Mannion.”

Someone else said: “I'm shook to realise 'unnecessary journeys' was six years ago! Defo feels like it was yesterday.”

Whilst other users praised the RTE sensation:

“Teresa ya absolute legend, what a start!!!!”

“Lmao Teresa Mannion bless her.”

“RTE will never let her live that moment down.”

“Teresa Mannion, absolute classic.”

“Teresa Mannion at Salthill opening...... this show just gets it.”

Teresa Mannion beloved online for dramatic live report on storm

Her report has at least two remixes and has been photoshopped into several cinematic scenes, social sharing.

An Irish reporter's battered plea for viewers to stay inside during a major storm struck a chord with many online, who have given her the full remix treatment and have placed her to many (fictional) crises. 

While being pelted with rain, Teresa Mannion reported live for Raidió Teilifís Éireann during Storm Desmond in coastal Galway, Ireland. She explained safety precautions amidst the howling winds and heavy rain on the national evening newscast.

She started the live report with a measured tone, but, donning a hat and raincoat, she yelled into the microphone as the anchor asked her more questions about the scene.

"Don't make unnecessary journeys," she shouted dramatically into a camera that was swaying from the wind. "Don't take risks on treacherous roads."

In the same voice, she added that people had been spotted swimming in the sea.

"Galway city council say their actions are idiotic," Mannion said. "It is unacceptable and unforgivable to put the lives in the rescue services at danger as well."

The anchor then said "thank you" and the newscast cut to a much calmer scene at Dublin airport. 

People were quickly astonished with the Dec. 5 report, both with the severity of the storm and the drama Mannion conveyed.

The internet’s take on Teresa Mannion: what you need to know

Social media responds to the rté journalist’s dramatic storm desmond weather report.

A year ago today, RTE journalist Teresa Mannion went viral on social media following her live report on Storm Desmond for RTE News. Video: RTE

Teresa Mannion's performance during this weekend's Storm Desmond weather report has earned her instant social media praise and fame.

Clutching her mic amid pouring rain and with an air of drama, she told viewers: “Don’t make unnecessary journeys, don’t take risks on treacherous roads.”

The report has been shared thousands of times, as have various screenshots and a mountain of parodies, memes and one fairly catchy remix.

The report picked up international attention, with the Independent in the UK running the story on Monday morning.

People have also called for the next storm to be named after the reporter (there's an online petition you can sign here ). Unfortunately, the next storm will be called Eva, according to the list voted for by the public.

#StormTeresa will likely not materialise further down the alphabetical list either, as Storm Tegan takes the entry for the letter "T".

‘Don’t make unnecessary journeys, don’t take risks on treacherous roads..!’

The words that will live with us forever, that now famous phrase exclaimed by RTÉ News Reporter Teresa Mannion during ‘Storm Desmond’ as it battered Ireland’s west coast.

don't take unnecessary journeys real

Solid advice from Teresa, who had the public’s safety in mind as she made sure we all knew how crazy the wind and rain was! But what if you needed to be on the road that night for work? Or any day for that matter. We’re not blessed with a tropical climate, and those who drive for a living or are involved in fleet management are all too familiar with the hazards that come with taking on the nation’s’ roads. In fact, a  recent research paper by Professor Anne Drummond of UCD found that 23% of fatal road traffic accidents involved a worker.

don't take unnecessary journeys real

You need a system that ensures your business – and drivers – are protected from road accidents, damage to cars, trucks, vans and company jets…….. (OK scratch the last one) and not to mention ever increasing insurance premiums.

Here’s a question: If you had to sit your driving test again tomorrow, would you pass?

One-to-One vehicle training is something all those who spend a large chunk of their time on the roads should look at doing. Do you have staff travelling a lot for work? Perhaps a one day training course is something to consider. At Ayrton, we provide a half day lecture to those taking part, followed by one to one vehicle tuition.

Our defensive driving course also offers participants an insight to stats and costs associated with road accidents, ensures drivers are aware of all their responsibilities and helps eradicate poor habits & attitudes. Click HERE for more information, or drop us a line today!
