Hurricanes Irma and Matthew creeped out some on social media because of satellite images that resembled sinister skulls. Subtropical Storm Melissa has a different notable shape.

A subtropical storm is a hybrid of tropical and non-tropical storms, and on Friday, the National Hurricane Center warned that "Melissa continues to cause coastal flooding along portions of the mid-Atlantic coast and southeastern New England."

But it's the shape Melissa took in images shared by the National Hurricane Center that's inspired some not-so-family-friendly jokes on social media.

Yes, it looks a little phallic, and social media users noticed. "Is a 14 year-old boy in charge of drawing these storm maps?!" wrote one Twitter user.

Wrote another, "Mother Nature doesn't screw around. Except when she does."

More than one person made a throwback joke referencing President Trump's controversial insistence that Alabama was in danger from Hurricane Dorian, and the Sharpie-altered map that followed.

"Trump is doing all weather maps now?" wrote one Twitter user.

Watch for the Trump sharpie to enhance this. — Frank Figliuzzi (@FrankFigliuzzi1) October 11, 2019

Some saw other shapes in the storm, including avocados and pot bowls.

It’s an avocado!!! — Melissa Calleros (@Melissa_002) October 11, 2019

People are saying #Melissa looks like a penis. Not me, my first thought was it looks like a pot bowl! #LegalizePot pic.twitter.com/3H47y8e4nI — Angela Melini (@angelamelini) October 11, 2019

Also, it wasn't exactly a good day for women named Melissa.

"Oh crap, why is my name trending?" wrote one. "A minute later: Oh good, it's just a tropical storm that's mostly offshore. Another minute later: Oh, but it has a rather unfortunate shape."

Me logging into Twitter: Oh crap, why is my name trending? A minute later: Oh good, it’s just a tropical storm that’s mostly offshore.

I went through the same emotional loop too! LOL#Melissa — Melissa Sawmiller (@simsybee) October 11, 2019

Unfortunate shape?



Not sure, but it DOES have your name written all over it. — Don (@DonnJuann301) October 11, 2019

Yike - exactly - but hey - happy Friday to all the Melissas! — Melissa Upchurch, PMP, CPIM (@meljhawk) October 11, 2019

Hang in there, Melissa army. Subtropical storm Melissa is expected to weaken over the next few days. Once your somewhat-risque-looking storm has passed, Nestor, Olga and Pablo are next up on the name list for Atlantic storms.
