Goodbye, #ThanksObama. Hello, #ThanksIrma!

In 2009, #ThanksObama began trending as people started to comment on then President Barack Obama's policies.

Once again, social media users are flocking to their Twitter and Instagram accounts to post about the impact incoming Hurricane Irma is having on their immediate lives.

From lonely commutes to work...

To changes in vacation plans.

While others are complaining about tedious trips to the grocery store to collect the basics like water, bread, and ice cream (yes, it's a basic necessity).

We're left to question how far #ThanksIrma will go.
