Once in a lifetime: Two hurricanes, same time, same place
ORLANDO, Fla. — As if the 2020 hurricane season needed another reason to be remembered, meteorologists are now predicting two hurricanes may hit near the same location at about the same time.
The phenomenon is one that has never been recorded before, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
On Friday, the National Hurricane Center forecast Tropical Storm Laura and Tropical Depression 14 to both hit the Gulf Coast hours apart; Laura as a Category 1 hurricane and TD 14 as a tropical storm.
“The odds of something like that happening are very, very slim,” said WOFL-TV meteorologist Jayme King.
