what happens when two hurricanes collide?

Answer 1

Just last year, after Hurricane Wilma passed over Florida, Tropical Storm Alpha got caught up in the underside of Wilma. Alpha was quickly absorbed by Wilma with no noticable change to Wilma. My answer to your question? No change when they "collide".

Answer 2

There is a lot of sinking air or subsidence that surrounds a hurricane. Any other storm that gets too close is going to be negatively impacted. More likely than a collision would be the stronger hurricane's surrounding environment overpowers the weaker hurricane. Last year hurricane Wilma caused tropical storm Alpha to fizzle. This happens in the Pacific region more frequently. Sometimes the result is a phenomenon called the Fujiwara affect in which the hurricanes rotate around each other.

Answer 3

Hurricanes don't collide. The way they form, and the way they're steered, it's not likely that two will exist near enough to each other at a given time to collide.

Answer 4

I found three research papers or case studies related to this...read the sources for yourself to get the whole scoop.

From what I read, it looked like nothing spectacular happened, the storm afterwards just strengthened at the pace it had been on.

Answer 5

look they cant collide cause the 2 masses would push each other away.

Answer 6

They can't collide, because they are limited in movement to wind direction and wind speed.

Answer 7

Try to imagine two women on the same menstrual cycle living together in the same house during PMS.......

Answer 8

They merge and fuse, forming a big and large hurricane.

Answer 9

a big mess.
