LONDON -- Storm Gertrude is rampaging its way across Northern Ireland, sending an innocent bunny rabbit flying.
The rabbit's hutch was caught in high winds Friday morning and blown up in the air, leaving the poor beast stranded on the roof of its owner's house. Luckily, though, help wasn't far behind.

“One Fire Appliance from Omagh Fire Station was deployed to the scene of a rabbit blown onto a roof in the area," a spokesperson for Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue told Mashable.
"Firefighters using a triple extension ladder, roofing ladder and a water rescue reach pole managed to rescue the rabbit."
The whole operation took less than 40 minutes from the time they received the call to the time they left the scene. The rabbit is now safely back with his owner.
