It's hard to think of a Category-5 hurricane as a good thing. But in 2025, Hurricane Humberto helped save the East Coast from a direct hit by a smaller hurricane, Imelda. The deflection was an example of the Fujiwhara effect. It's named for the Japanese scientist who first described the effect, in 1921. It's an interaction between two or more storms that pass close together. It applies to both tropical and non-tropical cyclones. Such storms are big and powerful. But they're influenced by the conditions around them. And the stronger the influence, the more the storms can change. As two storms approach each other, they can change direction, for example. They might move closer, with both of them spinning around a point between them. If there's a big difference in the sizes of the storms, the bigger one might deflect the smaller one, or even absorb it. But if they're about the same size, they might loop around each other, then be shot out in opposite directions. Tropical storms and hurricanes begin to interact at separations of about 900 miles. As they get closer, they may spin faster. And at less than 200 miles, they're likely to merge. The exact process depends on the size and intensity of the storms and many other factors, so it's tough to forecast. The Fujiwhara effect is seen more often in the Pacific Ocean. But it does play out in the Atlantic as well. The Humberto-Imelda interaction is the most recent—a dance of giant storms that helped coastal residents—this time.

Five-time All-American swimmer Jay Schindler visits with ISU Director of Letterwinners Engagement Mike Green. In September, Schindler will be inducted into the ISU Athletics Hall of Fame. Schindler won six individual conference championships during his ISU career in the late 1990's and he also helped lead the Cyclones to a Big Eight team title in 1995.
Brad is absolutely losing his mind because the Knicks are officially in the NBA Finals against the Spurs, and the delusion is so contagious that Vince has actually promised to attend the victory parade if they pull it off. We preview the matchup, complain about the horrifying MSG ticket prices, and break down what a ring means for both of these franchises. We also try to figure out what the hell happened to the OKC Thunder when they collapsed in the Western Conference Finals. To wrap things up, we check in on the clay courts at the French Open and start plotting our outing to see the Brooklyn Cyclones.
Mike Green, Director of Letterwinners Engagement, visits with former ISU swimmer, Jay Schindler, who will be inducted into the ISU Athletics Hall of Fame this September. Schindler was a five-time All-American at Iowa State and a six-time conference champion, specializing in the breaststroke. He also led the Cyclones to the 1995 Big Eight team championship.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
