We have been watching the possibility of having to name tropical systems in the Gulf of Mexico at the same time this week.

That exact scenario doesn't happen often.

Actually, it's only happened two other times since records began.

Whether Records Day, all the way back to the mid 19th century, the other occurrences were in 1959 and 1933.

So, yeah, you could say it's been a while and there have never been to hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico simultaneously.

If we were to see two hurricanes move over those warm waters at the same time, we would surely see this huge mega behemoth hurricane form, right?

Not quite.

Let me explain.

You see, physics just won't allow that to happen.

Hurricanes have both a counterclockwise rotation.

At one level, we call this cyclonic spin, and at another level they have a clockwise rotation known as anti cyclonic spin.

These opposing spins prevent two hurricanes from congealing into a super hurricane.

It's like trying to force the same ends of a magnet to attract It won't happen.

The two will always repel.

So is the same with two hurricanes, also under certain rare situations, something known as the Fuji War effect will occur.

It's a meteorological phenomenon discovered in the early 19 twenties, and it says when two hurricanes get within a certain proximity of each other, the two will begin revolving in a circle again.

Imagine two magnets, repelling and bouncing off each other.

If the to get closer and closer, the stronger hurricane will cause a smaller one toe weakened.

If the two are similar in strength, both will weaken.

So the one thing you will not get out of it is a mega hurricane forming.

That's at least one less thing for you worry about this year.
