By Wednesday morning, Hurricane Humberto had become a dissipated system after it spun out into the Atlantic for a little more than five days, but its paired track with Hurricane Imelda is history-making. As Category 1 hurricanes Tuesday, the two storms came within 476 miles of each other, which sets the all-time record for the two closest hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean here in the satellite era, according to hurricane specialist and meteorologist Michael Lowry. For modern satellite era it’s 2025’s humberto and imelda that take the closest hurricanes. https://t.co/ZTkaiUMseq pic.twitter.com/wshZe2AHWN — Jim Cantore (@JimCantore) October 1, 2025However, none of the pairs in comparison were hurricanes unlike Humberto and Imelda. Since hurricane record keeping started in 1951, there’s only one hurricane pairing that tops Humberto and Imelda, however, storm data before the satellite era isn’t as reliable, per Lowry.
