The 2017 Hurricane Irma memes emerged during the height of the Category 5 storm's approach to the United States, particularly Florida. While the storm was a serious natural disaster, the internet responded with a unique brand of chaotic humor, most notably through Facebook events like 'Shooting at Hurricane Irma' and 'Pointing Fans at the Hurricane to Blow it Away.' The meme template typically utilizes satellite imagery or the 'Cone of Uncertainty' graphic to illustrate an impending overwhelming force versus a defiant or oblivious target. It remains a classic example of collective digital coping mechanisms and 'Florida Man' energy during extreme weather events.
