40 Hurricane Milton Memes For Floridians Who Are Memeing Their Way Through The Storm Instead Of Evacuating

Floridians have an almost legendary relationship with hurricanes. It’s a mix of nonchalance, dark humor, and defiance, all served up with a side of memes.

And as Hurricane Milton approaches Tampa, true to form, many Floridians are responding with their usual bravado—stubbornly staying put, and laughing through the chaos.

In a state where tropical storms are practically a seasonal sport, residents have perfected the art of riding out hurricanes with a flag in one hand and a sense of humor in the other. It’s a way of coping with something that’s as much a part of Florida life as alligators and sunburns.

But while the memes may be hilarious, let’s not forget that these storms bring real devastation to many, even as others choose to joke their way through it.

So, as Hurricane Milton makes its presence known, we tip our hats (and grab our flashlights) to the Floridians who refuse to be fazed—whether they’re hunkered down, prepping for the worst, or meme-ing it up in the calm before the storm.

Stay safe, and if you’re scrolling from somewhere else, enjoy these peak-Florida reactions from the eye of the internet hurricane.
