Hurricanes Irma and Matthew creeped out some on social media because of satellite images that resembled sinister skulls. Subtropical Storm Melissa has a different notable shape.
A subtropical storm is a hybrid of tropical and non-tropical storms, and on Friday, the National Hurricane Center warned that “Melissa continues to cause coastal flooding along portions of the mid-Atlantic coast and southeastern New England.”
But it’s the shape Melissa took in images shared by the National Hurricane Center that’s inspired some not-so-family-friendly jokes on social media.
Yes, it looks a little phallic, and social media users noticed. “Is a 14 year-old boy in charge of drawing these storm maps?!” wrote one Twitter user.
Wrote another, “Mother Nature doesn’t screw around. Except when she does.”

I’m 45 on Sunday and I’m not ashamed to say I laughed.

More than one person made a throwback joke referencing President Trump’s controversial insistence that Alabama was in danger from Hurricane Dorian, and the Sharpie-altered map that followed.
“Trump is doing all weather maps now?” wrote one Twitter user.
Watch for the Trump sharpie to enhance this.

Some saw other shapes in the storm, including avocados and pot bowls.
Also, it wasn’t exactly a good day for women named Melissa.
“Oh crap, why is my name trending?” wrote one. “A minute later: Oh good, it’s just a tropical storm that’s mostly offshore. Another minute later: Oh, but it has a rather unfortunate shape.”
Me logging into Twitter: Oh crap, why is my name trending? A minute later: Oh good, it’s just a tropical storm that’s mostly offshore. Another minute later: Oh, but it has a rather unfortunate shape 🤦♀️. #Melissa pic.twitter.com/kZzj2SiFhz

Unfortunate shape?
Not sure, but it DOES have your name written all over it.

Yike – exactly – but hey – happy Friday to all the Melissas!

Hang in there, Melissa army. Subtropical storm Melissa is expected to weaken over the next few days. Once your somewhat-risque-looking storm has passed, Nestor, Olga and Pablo are next up on the name list for Atlantic storms.
Let’s block ads! (Why?)
