Meteorologists are warning of a significant storm approaching the southern US, characterized by a humorous map showing a phallic shape at its core. While attracting jokes online, the storm poses serious risks with expected damaging winds, hail, and tornadoes across multiple states, particularly Alabama and Mississippi. The most severe weather is forecasted between 10 am and 9 pm ET on Saturday, affecting over 150 million people. AccuWeather cautions about potential flooding, power outages, and nocturnal tornadoes, which statistically carry a higher risk for casualties and damage.
'Looks like this storm is going to aggressively penetrate the Deep South. Stay alert,' one X user wrote in a post that has already received over 300 replies.
'I swear the guys that put together weather maps are 14 year old boys at heart,' an X user added.
'The risk of tornadoes will continue well after dark into the late-night and overnight hours, posing an extreme risk to lives and property,' meteorologists warned.
AccuWeather added that more than 150 million people are in the path of this major storm system developing Friday night.
