The 'Tropical Storm Karen' meme took the internet by storm in September 2019 when the National Hurricane Center officially named a tropical system in the Atlantic. Because the name 'Karen' had already become a viral shorthand for an entitled individual who frequently demands to 'speak to the manager,' social media users immediately personified the storm. People began photoshopping the iconic blonde bob haircut onto satellite imagery and writing captions about the storm complaining to the manager of the coastline. It serves as a perfect intersection of meteorological news and internet subculture, used whenever weather events align with popular personality tropes.
