Early indications are there may be a quiet October, but that depends partly on what the Madden-Julian Osscillation, or MJO, does, and how long water temps stay warm, when the cold fronts dig deep into the Gulf, as well as wind shear and all the other things that make or break tropical activity.
That's a good way to remember the last couple or few months of the season: October, maybe November, not over. It rhymes, LOL!! It's not over till the fat lady sings. The fat lady is not even arrived at the theater yet. She is on her way, will be there soon.
I don't recall any instance in MY years of watching news and weather, of any storm spinning around one another or eating one another, but if it happens, it is very rare. It happens in the Atlantic; the infamous so-called "Halloween Storm" or "The Perfect Storm" of 1991 was one example of a storm that, while it didn't Fujiwara, it DID eat Hurricane Grace and basically became a hybrid hurricane of sorts. If storms have eaten one another in the Gulf, it is very rare. They don't HAVE to be tropical entities in order to Fujiwara or eat one another. Much of the time, they ARE tropical entities; it's easier for them to Fujiwara since they have no fronts attached. It's easier for them to collide, as well. To eat one another. Its more difficult but not impossible, for storms to collide when they HAVE fronts attached.
A quiet October would be very nice 🎃

Very true - 'October not Over' 👀
Hopefully though, we'll all be lucky 😌

Thank you. Very interesting to learn about the Fujiwhara effect. Has it ever happened in the Gulf of Mexico?
