Joaquin Phoenix has extended his skill set from that of actor to weather sensation. As Hurricane Joaquin threatens to make landfall on the East Coast this weekend, weather stations and fans alike are having fun with the name the two have in common.
Memes including several photos of Phoenix’s face photoshopped onto a weather map highlight the path of the storm as it makes its way up the Seaboard. Not only can people witness the intensifying nature of the storm this way, but we also get a timeline of changes in the actor’s physical appearance.
Hurricane Joaquin is considered a Category 4 storm, and stalled over the Bahamas early Friday before it started moving northward.
