As Hurricane Florence plans to land a “Mike Tyson punch” to the Carolinas this week, locals and visitors are making the best of the natural disaster by posting “Hurrication” photos on Instagram.

On Tuesday, one user uploaded a photo of herself enjoying beer with her friends, writing: “Cheers to hoping hurricane Florance is kind to us here in Charleston.”

Some people are even hitting the water, like one user who uploaded a bikini photo of herself in Sullivan’s Island Beach in South Carolina.

Another user grieved the impending Category 4 storm by posting modeling portraits of herself in Charleston. “Florence don’t take our city,” she wrote.

President Trump declared a state of emergency for Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, calling for mass evacuations in those states.

“This will be the storm of a lifetime for portions of the Carolina coast,” the National Weather Service wrote on Tuesday.
