Some were worried about the number of storms ever since we started naming them.

Everyone on this plane must have been saying a silent prayer as they came in to land.

Others thanked the hard working ESB crews battling to restore power
Also spare a thought for @ESBNetworks workers this evening. They are out in this weather trying to make sure we all have power. Thanks!
