And, though pre-satellite storm data is less reliable, only one other hurricane pairing beats out Humberto and Imelda since record keeping began in 1851, according to Lowry. That involved two unnamed hurricanes were recorded just 428 miles apart in 1853.
Imelda was upgraded from a tropical storm to a hurricane on Tuesday and threatened to bring hurricane conditions to Bermuda by Wednesday evening.
Hurricane Imelda is now closing in on Bermuda, just one day after Hurricane Humberto brushed the islands on Tuesday. And as of 11 a.m., the National Hurricane Center has issued its final advisory on Humberto, which has weakened and is no longer classified as a hurricane.
The National Hurricane Center's 11 a.m. Wednesday advisory reported that Category 1 Hurricane Humberto is in the Atlantic Ocean, 280 miles north-northwest of Bermuda. With maximum sustained winds of 80 mph, the hurricane is moving to the northeast at 14 mph.
Hurricane Humberto's swells will probably cause "life-threatening surf and rip current conditions," the National Hurricane Center warned.
A day after forming as the fourth hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic Ocean season, Hurricane Imelda had officially become stronger than Humberto Wednesday morning as it took aim at Bermuda, forecasters with the National Hurricane Center in Miami said.
The National Weather Service said a high risk of dangerous rip currents is expected through at least Wednesday.
Hurricane Imelda is eyeing Bermuda and Hurricane Humberto has already passed it but, says the Miami-based National Hurricane Center, both are likely to bring dangerous conditions to much of the U.S. East Coast.
