This Guy Had To Take A Kayak To The ATM In Flooded Ireland

A giant storm has hit the U.K., causing widespread flooding and prompting evacuations of some areas.

People have been warned to stay away from coastal areas as high tides, wind, and heavy rains are causing towns to flood.

In Cork, Ireland, a town on the River Lee, one man took a canoe to the ATM because the streets were submerged in water.
