We've all met a Karen.
Karen is a mess.
(Sorry real Karens, not you.)
A "Karen" walks into a low paying retail store demanding special treatment. Then, Karen is up in arms because someone put her in her place.
Or else, Karen got too drunk at brunch and now is invading everybody's space in the bar. There is always a Karen up to something.
So Tropical Storm Karen, who is now just a simple Tropical Depression, has big Karen shoes to fill, and so far she does not disappoint.
Tropical Storm #Karen gonna speak with every manager on the eastern seaboard 😳 https://t.co/OI7Xi3fEBy— Peter Matti🇺🇸 (@Peter Matti🇺🇸)1569172001.0
As Karen weakened from a storm to a normal old depression, her meme power became stronger and stronger.

I'm not a meteorologist but I'm pretty sure we all know exactly what "Tropical Depression Karen" will end up doing https://t.co/oqwbT2RDUc— Ramzy Nasrallah (@Ramzy Nasrallah)1569609629.0

Makes me a little sad, I was kind of rooting for Karen. I thought maybe she would make it rain Pumpkin Spice Lattes… https://t.co/8A6KQVRDRm— Love, Lola (@Love, Lola)1569610395.0
@OfficialJoelF Has anyone put a “Live, Laugh, Love” sign up in the hopes of deterring her path?— Big Fan of Your Work (@Big Fan of Your Work)1569609596.0
Karen is one of the top ten names for girls born during the 1950s and 1960s.
That name has evolved into the manager-speaking, bleach-blond-dyeing, bob-cut-having "Karens" we are so familiar with today.
@OfficialJoelF Karen could fall apart at any time... https://t.co/LVumqZQBWy— Paul Vahamaa (@Paul Vahamaa)1569620742.0

@OfficialJoelF Get it together, Karen.— 🍑 (@🍑)1569608580.0
@OfficialJoelF The manager better get out here fast.— Brian Tyler Cohen (@Brian Tyler Cohen)1569610452.0
Karen completely fell apart as of 5 pm on Friday, proving once and for all that she was no true Karen, as most Karens live for Friday nights.
@OfficialJoelF Tropical Depression Karen is four margaritas in and about to sing Sinead O’Connor's version of Nothi… https://t.co/ipXijZyJU8— The Wildflower Seed 🌷🌾🌼🌾🌺🌾🌸🌾 (@The Wildflower Seed 🌷🌾🌼🌾🌺🌾🌸🌾)1569638810.0
@OfficialJoelF Falling apart is the most Karen thing a "tropical depression" can do.— Adso of Melk (@Adso of Melk)1569610199.0

@OfficialJoelF Not the only Karen on the brink I’d guess.— Polly Nano (@Polly Nano)1569603754.0
@OfficialJoelF It's okay, Karen. We all been there.— Lady Butcher (@Lady Butcher)1569609936.0
It's too bad Karen couldn't get it together.
Meanwhile, Hurricane Lorenzo is rapidly gaining speed and power and moving further and further east as hurricane season continues. So, though Karen fell apart, Lorenzo is likely to unleash some hell upon Europe.
Let's hope that manager gets out here quickly.
To rehabilitate the Karen name, the book Karen: A True Story Told by Her Mother is available here.
