Even in the midst of a hurricane crashing into Texas and touchy relations with North Korea, it was Facebook and Instagram going down Saturday morning that threw many people into a panic.

Many users either couldn’t post, access mailboxes or upload images onto their Facebook and Instagram sites this morning or were unable to access them entirely on both their web and mobile.
But those in need of communicating with the masses found solace… with Twitter. Check it out.
