Apple picking is usually a hard work that takes several weeks, but the nature had unexpectedly helped orchardists in Clonmel, Tipperary County in Ireland to accomplish the job overnight. Amid the Hurricane Ophelia, the strongest tropical storm to hit Ireland in at least 50 years, tens of thousands of apples were blown from the trees in the orchard on Wednesday. /Tencent Photo

Instead of being destroyed by the storm, fortunately, the tree survived and the apples were cushioned by rain water and fallen leaves after the flood. /Tencent Photo

The apples that dropped following the hurricane are expected to be used to make jam or apple cider. Ophelia, which is the largest hurricane ever recorded so far in the Atlantic Ocean, has left three people dead in Ireland after making a landfall in the area on October 16. /Tencent Photo
