What’s wet, hot and making us miss our exes? None other than the Tampa Bay Times’ quickly-deleted map of Hurricane Idalia.

As the storm hurdles towards the Sunshine State, the local paper created a map of where the soon-to-be Category 3 Hurricane will likely make landfall, a beige, ovular and VERY provocative swath of land that sent nearly all of Instagram in a tizzy trying to reconcile with their long lost lovers.



“I should call her,” wrote @floridaman per screenshots of the since-removed post.


“This graphic is so wild,” added @eva_feva.


Though the local outlet has since scrubbed the graphic from their Instagram page, switched the version appearing on their website to a much-less vaginal shade of green (ET fetishists have entered the chat?) several readers were still hung up on their exes, heading to Twitter to share their fond, albeit brief, memories of the “hurricussy,” as @_biggiemolls dubbed it.


“Hurriqueef force winds are possible,” wrote @rayroa, as @InterNatGeo announced that they were “gonna c*m.”


Meanwhile, @Chrundl commended the Tampa Bay Times for altering the graphic to something more comprehensible to the paper’s target audience of bumbling Florida Men.


“All those dudes in Florida would never be able to find the hurricane,” they wrote.


Though the outlet may have replaced their graphic with an incredibly phallic map of the impending storm — typical — at least for a few brief moments, we as a society experienced true gender equality. The Tampa Bay Times graphics department — the true feminist heroes of our time.
