Superstorm could be forming! Unprecedented size!

I'm not a meteorologist, but this video is interesting. Two storms could come together and form a 'hyper hurricane'. One storm is already in the Atlantic way east of the US, the other west of Africa. If this happens, start stocking up now.

So well explained, such a beautiful doom porn. A first of its kind storm, biggest ever. Almost make you wish to be real. Lets go buy can soup and batteries.

Sandy left me without work for 3 days last time, we'll se if this thing can break that record.

Holy hyper-cane!

I hope these storms don't merge.

Not only will the repercussions to land and people be great, but it's also going to screw up my own life next week.

Thanks for sharing this.

Keeping my eye on this one!

Guess hurricanes don't like white nationalists in Charlotte either.

I live right outside of Philly, about 2 hours from the NJ coast. Sandy left us without power for a week.

Pump stations are down in NOLA; even if it brings significant rain, it will be moderately destructive. I hope people keep an eye on its formation and prepare accordingly.

Interesting UNb. As you have found this broadcast you must know more about these things then me, that ain't hard. So do you have any speculation that IF this happens what the time frame might be?

I was without power at home for about a week too, I'm in NJ. One day I didn't go to work because I couldn't get gas for my car. I guess we both know how it's like...

Hope fully this time, if there is a storm and it goes that way and they say "Git!" People git. And if it heads that way, hopefully the local officials aren't completely inept and use every resource at their disposal to help get people out too.

I too am not well versed in this subject, but from what I garnered from the video, if this does materialize, it's still a week to ten days away to affect the east coast.

It might not affect the east coast at all. The vast majority of hurricanes which form in that area go SOUTH into Mexico, or veer DUE NORTH before reaching the U.S.A..

I know. They usually hover around the Caribbean or South. But one storm appears to be just east of FLA.

Nevermind, you're right. I'm looking at the wrong storm. Told you I wasn't a meteorologist.

Oh no, you mean there are hurricanes in that atlantic during hurricane season. Wow, what a shocker.

a reply to: Trueman

I was up near Trenton when Sandy hit.
No power or hot water for a week before I had to check in to a new unit in DC.

I had to get a hotel room about 30 minutes north of DC so I could shower and shave before I showed up.

Those bastards still charged me a full night's rate for 2hrs. Was only there from 10am - noon.

Now I'm in New Orleans, so I'm sure we'll get whacked at some point before I leave here.

For f#'s sake.

Yes, hurricanes can "collide", or more accurately, one can be absorbed by another. Most often, they just do a dance & "orbit" each other, it's called the Fujiwhara Effect, and it's NOT NEW. Hurricane Iris in '95 didn't turn into a super hurricane after it ate Karen, now did it?
And it does not indisputably lead to a superstorm on it's own, because you need more than just "Oops, another hurricane - BOOM! Hulksmash'cane!" The proximity of each other leads most often to weakened ones because hello --wind variation disturbing the structure of each storm

Here's an old article that'd do people some good to read, at least it could be learned from, as opposed to just peddling inaccurate doom porn from a crappy Youtuber.

Well damn there goes my hopes for a Hulksmash'cane!

Oh my God....Al Gore was right.

Try 2 weeks without electricity after Frances/Ivan/Jeanne in the middle of FL summer. Nothing like walking around a Baked Human day in & day out

Ah! I was so hoping for Hulksmashcane. That would be such a cool name for a hurricane ... much better than the tame names they get now.

Can you just see someone like Shepard Smith reporting on Hulksmashcane?

You must be a real hoot at parties. Lighten up, Francis.
