The United States could witness a rare “Fujiwhara effect” as two storm systems are expected to come in close proximity in the Gulf of Mexico next week.
All eyes are on the gulf coast as the 2020 hurricane season nears its most active month. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is currently tracking two storm systems. Tropical Depression Fourteen is moving northwestward over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and is expected to develop into a named storm and reach hurricane strength. Tropical Storm Laura is moving toward the U.S. from the Atlantic, prompting warnings for the Northern Leeward Islands and Puerto Rico Friday morning.
While the intensity of Laura remains uncertain, the NHC currently projects both systems to slide into the gulf, nearing landfall around the same time - Tuesday to Wednesday. This unique situation has experts on the lookout for a Fujiwhara effect, which occurs when two systems in close proximity “orbit” each other, which can result in the stronger system absorbing the weaker storm.
The National Weather Service explains:
When two hurricanes spinning in the same direction pass close enough to each other, they begin an intense dance around their common center. If one hurricane is a lot stronger than the other, the smaller one will orbit it and eventually come crashing into its vortex to be absorbed. Two storms closer in strength can gravitate towards each other until they reach a common point and merge, or merely spin each other around for a while before shooting off on their own paths. But often, the effect is additive when hurricanes come together - we usually end up with one massive storm instead of two smaller ones.

The Perfect Storm
I hate hurricane season...
NWS predicted for August, I laughed
19-25 Storms

3-6 Cat 3+ hurricanes
Better get busy it’s the 22nd already
Matthew 6:34 NLT “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
The liberal view is going to be, that Trump is to blame, for not being on board with global warming.
The liberal wailing will be, look at what’s happening, double hurricanes are happening, and it’s all because Trump pulled us out of the Paris global warming agreement.
Prepper ping.
There goes gas prices.
Trumps Fault !
So you propose not prepping at all but waiting until you get slammed and THEN worrying about where you’re going to get food and clean, potable water?
Anything to divert attention from the GOP Convention.
By next week, these storms will rival the Japanese tsunami’s devastation potential.
That’s what the media will be saying.
Because Fauxcy COVID-19.
This is from the Wrath of Khan, yes?
Truth...
Yes, but wrong thread?
“...U.S. Could Witness Rare ‘Fujiwhara Effect’ as Two Storm Systems Target Gulf..”
Is that anything like the “fugarewe” effect out of Africa?
I will make a prediction.. we will hear about this all week long...and they will cut into the GOP convention non stop to tell us about the imminent doom.. and then, miraculously, it will never come close to what they say it will.
More like the slapahoe effect.
Eli’s Coming. ....
