About

Hurricane Milton's Face refers to an aerial infrared satellite image of the October 2024 Hurricane Milton that resembled the side profile of a human face. Many called the face creepy, akin to a creepypasta. Others perceived it as a skull, comparing it to the human-like face seen in 2016's Hurricane Matthew. Fan art of Hurricane Milton spread en masse after the image of its face went viral on social media platforms like Twitter / X and Reddit, among others.
