«Breaking News» Bizarre moment leaf blowers diligently carry on with their work as Storm Ali bombards British Isles

Storm Ali hit the British Isles today bringing gusts of up to 70mph to parts of the country - but this hasn't stopped two determined leaf blowers from going about their business.

The intrepid workmen were videoed both in Ireland and Scotland eager to not let the inclement weather stop them, much to the delight of onlookers.

One Twitter user by the name of Dublinmaker posted a video on social media expressing his amazement at one of the workmen in Dublin.

He said: 'He was very seriously gathering leaves in the storm. I saw no sign of devilment in his face. Nothing hinders the maintenance dept.'

The footage, which was filmed in the village of Chapelizod, comes as Storm Ali brings widespread disruption to parts of the British Isles.

A Met Office amber weather warning is in place for a large swathe of the UK with power cuts and flying debris possible as the first named storm of the season sweeps through.

Given this, many found the leaf blower footage highly amusing and commented on the video to say as much.

One user called Manny said: 'Stupidity or skill. I'm not qualified to judge.'

While Ridge said: 'The leaves don't stand a chance'

Gary Daly claims to have witnessed the bizarre scene, saying: 'Tip of the cap to guy working a leaf blower around Citywest in Storm Ali.'

One even joked that the man could be the reason for the storm, saying: 'Could man with leaf blower responsible for Storm Ali?'

Gary Fox suggested the Irish workman might not be using a leaf blower, however.

He said: 'Be careful, the leaves on the trees are green, therefore not the leaf falling season. Probably spraying weed killer or similar.' 

The worker's Scottish leaf blowing equivalent was also caught on camera this afternoon - despite wind and rain blasting the city of Glasgow.

Jaclyn Bryson filmed the clip from her office on Caledonian Road.

Jaclyn said her co-workers were 'in stitches laughing' when they realised what he was doing.

Social media users were quick to comment on the post, dubbing the worker a 'f****** idiot' and a 'f***y'.

Posting the footage to Facebook, Jaclyn wrote: 'Meanwhile in the Gorbals - Man out blowing leaves on windiest day of year.'

The 18-second-clip has already been viewed over 29,000 times since it was uploaded this afternoon.

The footage begins with two workers wearing high-vis orange clothing beside a large patch of grass.

While one worker takes a lawn mower back to the pair's van, it becomes clear the other worker is blowing away the extra grass cuttings - with a leaf blower.

Despite the brisk wind and rain showering down - leading the worker to hold his hood down with his hand - he continues to 'blow' away the grass.

The gardener makes sure to blow left and right while he walks along a grass verge - before heading back to the van to join his colleague.

On social media, Marcus Bain said: 'What a f****** idiot.'

David Lewis added: 'These morons' bosses need a reality check. Are you kidding me? What is the point of this nonsense?' 

An amber Met Office weather alert is expected to be in place until 6pm this evening for large parts of the British Isles.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
