^ What the hell was that?

could have been a or shelf cloud

A derecho (from Spanish: "derecho" meaning "straight")[8] is a widespread and long-lived, violent convectively induced straight-line windstorm that is associated with a fast-moving band of severe thunderstorms usually taking the form of a bow echo. Derechos blow in the direction of movement of their associated storms, similar to a gust front, except that the wind is sustained and generally increases in strength behind the "gust" front. A warm weather phenomenon, derechos occur mostly in summer, between May and August in the Northern hemisphere. They can occur at any time of the year and occur as frequently at night as in the daylight hours.[9]

The traditional criteria that distinguish a derecho from a severe thunderstorm are sustained winds of 58 miles per hour (93 km/h) during the storm as opposed to gusts, high and/or rapidly increasing forward speed, and geographic extent (typically 250 nautical miles (460 km) in length.)[6] In addition, they have a distinctive appearance on radar (bow echo); several unique features, such as the rear inflow notch and bookend vortex, and usually manifest two or more downbursts. Although these storms most commonly occur in North America, derechos occur elsewhere in the world. Outside North America they may be called by different names. For example, in Bangladesh and adjacent portions of India, a type of storm known as a "Nor'wester" may be a progressive derecho.[9

^^^ See that white dome on the extreme right? That cloud looked totally different from by that white dome.

Hook, Julia is moving faster than Igor.

Can both low pressure areas merge? what will be the effects of such?

The rare effect of two interacting hurricanes is termed the Fujiwhara effect.

In the Fujiwhara Effect, two tropical cyclones can alter each other and/or become absorbed by the stronger of the two hurricanes also storm paths can be altered by their interactions with each other. Those two storms can collide and become larger, but not more powerful. One storm is usually absorbed.

The storm may later become more powerful, but that does not mean it was from the collision.



Igor is murdering sweet defenseless Julia

[Hook]

but "derecho" means "right" (as in the opposite of "left")

[brickman]

jus saw this on facebook on CNC3 site:CNC3 Television IMPORTANT: The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service has issued an Information Bulletin
advising that over the next three hours, there is the strong
possibility that both islands (particularly western Trinidad) will
experience heavy and intense showers and isolated thundershowers. BE VIGILANT!
