Another hurricane is headed to the southern parts of the USA this week, but while its winds are way below that of Irma, Jose is facing another issue.

Border control.

Yes, thank you, that’s possibly the greatest joke I have ever made. I mean it would be if everyone on Twitter hadn’t beaten me to the punchline.

You get the joke.

There were also those who just made jokes about the fact that this is the third big storm to hit in less than a month.

But on a serious note, stay safe, stock up on water, non-perishable food items and sandbag up your doors. It is also recommended you board up your windows. It is said that the maximum wind speed of Storm Jose currently has is around 50mph, which can still be dangerous. Hurricane Irma is currently the biggest issue, with the Florida Keys already being evacuated.

Be careful out there.
