Two systems churning in the Atlantic are so close to one another, they appear to be dancing in what's called the Fujiwhara Effect .

It happens when two hurricanes "spinning in the same direction pass close enough to each other, they begin an intense dance around their common center," according to the National Weather Service.

"If one hurricane is a lot stronger than the other, the smaller one will orbit it and eventually come crashing into its vortex to be absorbed," the NWS says.

WESH 2 Chief Meteorologist Tony Mainolfi said, "It's just absolutely amazing to see the #fujiwhara take place in the Atlantic tropical basin between #imelda and #Humberto ! It does look as though their interaction is creating a shearing effect on each other in this loop!" This content is imported from
