Nice.

Turns out, Hurricane Maria is an even bigger dick than we thought.

After ravaging the island of Puerto Rico, recent projections from the NOAA estimate that the powerful storm will head east into the Atlantic ocean, turning into one of the largest weather boners we have seen in quite some time.

Yes, it's true. The path of Hurricane Maria looks like a big ole dick, and as we all know, weather dicks continue to be funny, no matter how often they occur.

The storm's phallic projection up to Saturday was enough to say, "Hey, that looks like a dick." But it just keeps going, without label, to form a perfectly rounded tip. We're speculating here, but the forecaster that made this projection totally may have seen the penis shape, and then decided to just go all in and make it a 10/10 weather dick.

We may never know, but one thing is certain: Hurricane Maria is a dick.
