Twee, tea and patio furniture: The most British tweets about Storm Doris
The horror, the horror
You may have noticed some wind and rain this morning – if you did, that was Storm Doris, the latest extreme weather event to ravage Britain. In America, storm devastate and destroy entire towns. In Britain, storms sometimes knock over plastic patio furniture or get our hair wet so we all make hilarious jokes about it on Twitter.
Here are the best of those jokes.

I just wanted to congratulate my neighbour Doris on finally getting her own storm. She works hard and deserves it.
