FUJIWARA.
Ya'll have probably never heard of that word. It's a very good possibility that hurricanes Jose and Maria (Joseph and Mary) will do the fujiwara dance of the hurricanes.
If you think I'm bs'ing you again check this https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/cap ... 6374818c7c

If those two do the dance that'd be a storm of BIBLICAL proportions.
Could babble on and on but lets just leave it here.

Why would it be Biblical?

As we said, the Fujiwara Effect is a relatively rare occurrence, although it does happen every once in a while. In fact, Hurricanes Hilary and Irwin danced the Fujiwara earlier this summer in the Pacific Ocean.


Just another weather phenomenon for the weather nerds.

You know what a land spout is?

A landspout tornado was spotted Aug. 9, 2016, on Chicago's Southwest Side, the first tornado within the city limits in nearly a decade, according to the National Weather Service. Certified weather observer Melanie Harnacke documented the funnel cloud. (Melanie Harnacke)

My wife is good friends with Melanie. Not as rare as the Fujiwara Effect, but for a weather nerd to actually see and photograph one, it gets your geek on.
