2 Hurricanes, Same Place, Same Time To Hit Gulf Of Mexico
2 HURRICANES, SAME PLACE, SAME TIME – Amid the coronavirus pandemic, another potential calamity was forecasted over the Gulf Of Mexico.
For the first time in more than a century and a half, 2 hurricanes may hit at the same time and place. As such, the Washington post warned coastal residents of a high-impact, record-breaking phenomenon.
According to the National Hurricane Center, the busy ocean basin was warm enough to support a significantly large hurricane. However, how the storms would form still holds a level of uncertainty. Still, researchers cannot turn down the possibility of an event that could make meteorological history.
Based on the article, data and historical accounts also supports the possibility of the two storm system colliding as they intensify in the Gulf.
Meanwhile, according to the National Hurricane Center, the tropical depressions may likely to be named Marco and the other Tropical Storm may be called Laura. Marco would enter from the west while Laura could enter from the east.
Reports said the Laura has a chance to slow down. However, if it gets too close or goes past Hispaniola, Laura could strengthen if it remains in open waters. On the other hand, Marco would probably make its way to become a hurricane. But, its intensity may be limited due to changes in what is known as “wind shear”.
Still, there is a possibility that both may become storms and intensify each other if they get too close.
