This satellite image released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shows Tropical Storm Laura in the North Atlantic Ocean, Friday, Aug. 21, 2020. Laura formed Friday in the eastern Caribbean and forecasters said it poses a potential hurricane threat to Florida and the U.S. Gulf Coast. A second storm also may hit the U.S. after running into Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.
Tropical Storms Laura and Marco were both projected to approach the U.S. Gulf Coast at or near hurricane force. The current, uncertain track would take them to Texas or Louisiana. Laura was already flinging rain across Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands early Saturday and was expected to drench the Dominican Republic, Haiti and parts of Cuba during the day on its westward course.
The Hurricane Center said it expects the storms to stay far enough apart to prevent direct interaction as the region braces for the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season, which is forecast to be unusually active. “Of course, we have to have two simultaneously land-falling hurricanes,” McNoldy said. “It’s best not to ask what’s next.” )
I vote we rename TS Laura to TS Polo so they can play the game as they get closer and closer together
SheaSerrano hope you guys stay safe next week 🙏🙏🙏
Anyone got dancing tropical storms on their bingo card? Dancing Tropical Storms....
The thousands of gallons a day of crude oil that is still pouring into the gulf from that broken BP drill hole is an even bigger threat.
Nature is giving The south, the double stuff. 😉

At least they look happy.
I’d wager they combine to make the first of many super storms
This is disturbing to hear
Soooooo murder hornets, fire tornados and dancing hurricanes. Got it.
'Two newly formed tropical storms'.... 😂😂😂 Interesting!.... 😂😂😂 Formed by who? 😂😂
Won’t the extremely stable genius offer nukes this year?
Laura is about to hit Puerto Rico but I guess that is not worth mentioning by the 🙄
If it wouldn't hurt so many people who depend on the land and sea to scratch out a living, I'd with they'd both hit the RNC and frustrate Trump no end.
Is that all you got? Hurricanes, plagues, locust, murder bees, aliens antifa.
So, dress in layers?
Hope they wear masks.

2 tropical storms pose a double threat to the Gulf Coast — or notThe last time two tropical storms were in the Gulf of Mexico together was in 1959, and two hurricanes have never appeared there at the same time in recorded history.
