I think that maybe once a year, you'll find a harmonious corner of the internet where people aren't trolling one another at all.

This year, that corner happens to be a thread of hilarious dick jokes under a picture of hurricane Hermine in Florida, which hit land as a tropical storm on Thursday.

The photo was posted on the Facebook page of Jacksonville local news station WJXT4 a day before the storm hit, and has since collected thousands of comments regarding its dick-like shape.

BREAKING: A Tropical Storm Watch has been issued for the west coast of Florida in anticipation for what will likely be "Hermine" by Thursday.

My coworker, Alec, even cracked one himself: "For this election, Florida finally grew a dick to fuck us with." (I'm so lucky to work with him.)

I'm sure the folks at this Florida news station had a great laugh. Because even in the wake of a potentially deadly storm, there's still some time for dick jokes.
