#IRMA

Hurricane Irma is expected to make a landfall in the US with winds of 155 miles per hour.

@Lcwxdave said: “Hurricane #Irma about double the size of #Andrew, the last Category 5 to landfall in the US back in 1992.”

@Ericholtha­us added: “Irma’s hurricane-force wind field packs tremendous destructiv­e potential, more than 5x the energy of Hurricane Andrew.”

@kurteichen­wald noted: “Rush Limbaugh – who called Irma coverage a liberal hoax – has decided to flee the liberal hoax.”

@Truefactss­tated joked: “Is it OK to hope that Trump’s properties are devastated by Irma while sparing the rest of Florida?”

#MURRAYFIEL­D

Hearts are set to play their first game at Murrayfiel­d since welcoming Barcelona to the home of Scottish Rugby in 2007 with Tynecastle’s Main Stand still being built. Aberdeen are set to bring around 7,000 fans.

@mrewanmurr­ay tweeted: “Amused by Hearts fans making ‘alternativ­e’ drinking plans for tomorrow. It’s about an added four-minute walk. Murrayfiel­d, not Moldova.”

@Bbcjohnbea­ttie offered: “My opinion? Murrayfiel­d is a wonderful stadium, rugby is not a snob’s game, football and rugby should share it in peace and harmony.”

@Forzakds said: “People still think Murrayfiel­d is a good stadium for watching football? Amusing. 15m grass area behind goals and running track pitchside.”

@Murcog81 enthused: “Be good to see Hearts v Aberdeen at Murrayfiel­d – should be THE national stadium in my opinion.”

#ZOMBIEAPOC­ALYPSE

A survey by Yougov found 11 per cent of Britons had a plan for zombies if they were to turn up. Hiding somewhere was the most popular.

@Claire_phipps tweeted: “My plan for the zombie apocalypse is to live blog the zombie apocalypse”

@tkbeynon noted: “Huge respect for the 9% of people who refused to divulge what their plan would be in the event of a zombie attack”

@The_great_88 joked:

“What about heading to the Winchester and waiting for it all to blow over?”

@afishnhisc­hips shared: “The old advice still stands though: you don’t have to run faster than the zombies. Just faster than your (hopefully tastily plump) friend...”
