India's E-Waste Crisis: A Toxic Ticking Time Bomb

As of September 29, 2025, a rare meteorological phenomenon known as the Fujiwhara Effect is playing a crucial role in steering Tropical Storm Imelda away from the United States. The interaction between Imelda and the powerful Hurricane Humberto, which is tracking west of Bermuda, has caused Imelda to take a sharp turn out to sea — avoiding a potentially devastating U.S. landfall.

Initially, Imelda was forecast to move inland across the Southeastern states, raising fears of catastrophic flooding in the Carolinas and Georgia. In such a scenario, rain totals could have rivaled those from Hurricane Matthew or Hurricane Nicole in 2016. But now, a high-pressure system over the Northeast is blocking Imelda’s northward progress, and Humberto is exerting influence that helps steer Imelda away from the U.S. coastline.
