A political cartoon depicts Earth encircled by multiple hurricane symbols and five evacuation route signs pointing toward the planet. Published on September 17, 2017, the image responds to Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Jose striking in quick succession during an unusually active Atlantic season. The visual metaphor suggests the planet itself requires evacuation from intensifying storms linked to warmer oceans. The cartoon arrives weeks after Harvey flooded Houston and as Irma threatened Florida and the Caribbean. It captures public anxiety over back-to-back major hurricanes and growing scientific links between climate change and stronger storms.
