As Hurricane Ian approaches Florida, residents of the state (aka Florida men/women) are bracing for impact and posters around the nation and world are offering support. As is often the case with major hurricanes to hit the U.S., memes are showing up as an important part of laughing in the face of a difficult situation.


Many Floridians are reminding others of how hurricanes are categorized, offering helpful guides for determining the severity of a storm.

Ian is currently in a period of “rapid strengthening,” expected to become a Category 3 hurricane by the time it makes its predicted landfall in western Florida or the state’s panhandle later this week.


Some joked about the response of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, whose name has been in the headlines in recent weeks for sending migrants to Martha's Vineyard and other publicity grabbing actions. Alongside the memes, critics of DeSantis took the opportunity to point out the aid and support that the federal government is offering Florida, contrasting it with DeSantis’s frequently uncollaborative attitude towards the federal government.


A number of people in the hurricane’s predicted path seemed to worry about their supply of “hurricane snacks,” food stashed away in case the storm knocks out power or shuts down supermarkets. Many joked about the common tendency to eat such snacks before the storm even arrives.


Ian seems to be an unpredictable storm so far, taking its time to form and make landfall. But this year’s hurricane season has already been a pretty severe one. Hurricane Fiona just slammed Puerto Rico and Atlantic Canada last week, damaging houses and taking out electricity in each place and leading to plenty of posting.
