In extremely Florida news, several outposts of the grocery store chain Publix are selling hurricane-themed cakes (why aren't they called Hurri-cakes?) as Hurricane Irma nears the state's coast. 。

The internet, of course, is divided. Some people think the cakes are a classic bit of Floridian gallows humor. Others actually appreciate the message -- one cake, after all, says "Go Away, Irma." 。

Still, it seems that most Floridian tweeters are okay with the cakes. A lot of people seem to be buying them -- some have even lamented that they couldn't find one at their nearest Publix. 。
