Hurricane Humberto is no stranger to the Atlantic — and if you think you’ve heard the name before, you’re not wrong.

Although it might be rare, it is an important phenomenon that occurs when two storms get close enough to influence each other’s movement.

Hurricane Helene is expected to make landfall on Florida’s northwestern coast and then continue on to torment parts of Georgia, the Carolinas and Tennessee with heavy rain, flash floods and gusty winds.

Yes, two tropical weather systems can collide.

Residents along the Gulf Coast from Texas to Florida are preparing for not one but two tropical systems to make landfall early next week. The second storm, which became Tropical Storm Laura on Friday morning, is positioned 230 miles east-southeast of the northern Leeward Islands with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph and is moving west at 21 mph. On Sept. 8, 2017 Hurricane Irma made landfall along the north coast of Cuba just before midnight and, within the same hour, Hurricane Katia made landfall along the Mexico Gulf Coast. There were 23 hours between the Treasure Coast Hurricane making landfall and the Cuba/Brownsville Hurricane Douglas making landfall. It’s important to remember that there is still time for wiggle room in the forecast for Tropical Storm Laura and Tropical Depression Fourteen.
