obviously 'first bingeable theatrical experience' is a horrible sequence of words but it's also just completely untrue. movie marathons have existed for decades. just because nobody has ever been dumb enough to put those words together before doesn't mean you've invented a new thing.

That high resolution AROME model out to 9am shows gusts I’ve never seen this model show before for Ireland and this model is one of the best there is for Ireland. Anyone saying this is just another storm is in for a rude awakening. This will be an historic storm. #StormÉowyn
