    That's not possible.

    That said, this is an unprecedented situation for the Gulf of Mexico with the possibility of two hurricanes entering a Fujiwhara effect in such a small area. A lot of times when low pressure systems (usually not tropical) enter a Fujiwhara effect they tend to create somewhat of a "riptide" in the atmosphere which makes the smaller/weaker storm follow the larger/stronger storm on a very similar, sometimes identical, track.

    The tl;dr here is if that happens you could see two hurricanes landfall in exactly the same place and go up the Mississippi River. This would be a catastrophe as far as flooding is concerned.

    Projection for Marco shifted it to the east and both of them are now set to hit NOLA dead on.

    So this should be fun.

    New Orleans/Houston about to get both it looks like. Hope they don’t strengthen too much in the gulf.

    Laura is a Cat 3 and will likely be a 4 when it makes landfall tonight

    Yeah Laura escalated rapidly. Mercifully it looks like it's gonna go right between NOLA and Houston so it won't hit any of the major population areas. The area around the state border is gonna get creamed though.

    Didn't pay attention for a couple days and it got real real quick. What happened to the second storm? Did they merge? Is it still there just further behind?

    That is intensification well beyond any forecast models. It's probably going to reach 5 by EOD. Extremely devastating and catastrophic news for the affected area.

    I'm glad both storms amounted to nothing in my specific area but man Laura is going to absolutely destroy the area around the border.

    Too lazy to remove the pin of my zip, but like goddamn. fucker is huge

    Already at 150 and has a lot of deep, warm gulf water to go. I suspect 160 at landfall.

    Though those 10 mph mean almost nothing in the grand scheme of things. Unbelievable to say the least
