TOP TWEETS: #BEASTFROMTHEEAST On average, there are 500 million tweets every day on Twitter.

Granted some are still in hell but I had my own version. Sink drains froze for three or four days so couldn't use them and then half a day with no water. Then a couple more with low pressure. Fun. #BeastFromTheEast @shonapushedplay Checking in, no hope of water till Monday at the least ... but how inventive one becomes ... flushing loos being main concern... found two giant hugely dated multipack lemonades in pantry.. #flushed with citrus!!! #suffolk #BeastFromTheEast #whoknew @countrymousie In light of the recent #BeastFromTheEast, extreme weather conditions have caused disruption to the network including bursts, frozen pipes and low pressures along with a massive increase in consumption.
