Dublin, Ireland - January 27, 2026 Video filmed by X user The Karaoke Jogge, a Dublin-based filmmaker, director, photographer, and self-described workaholic, shows severe traffic disruption during the morning commute on January 27, 2026, as Storm Chandra hit the city. The footage was recorded from inside a vehicle at around 8:30 AM on a slip road leading onto the M50 motorway at Junction 13. It captures what the filmer described as “mayhem” at the peak of the storm. Traffic is shown at a standstill or moving extremely slowly on a narrow access ramp affected by flooding. The main M50 had been closed due to the storm, forcing all vehicles to use this single route and creating a major bottleneck. Standing water is visible on the roadway as vehicles queue closely together, struggling to make progress amid heavy rain. The clip reflects widespread frustration as a key commuter route in Dublin was severely disrupted during Storm Chandra, which caused extensive flooding and transport problems across the city. The video was posted online and quickly gained strong attention, reaching over 60,000 views along with more than 200 likes and numerous reposts, replies, and bookmarks. Some viewers questioned the exact location, with the filmer clarifying it was the slip road at Junction 13 rather than the motorway itself. Several media and user-generated content organizations contacted the filmer soon after, including Spectee, EBU News, ViralPress, VBear media, and Viral Stringer. Permissions were granted where requested, with confirmation of the recording’s date, time, and ownership. The footage became a widely shared example of Storm Chandra’s impact on transport in Ireland on January 27, 2026.
