Well, that'd be something to see .
Having two hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico at once would already be exceptional. Let alone them both striking the same bordering US state.
Good job there's plenty of time for differences in timing to prevent this horrendous scenario from playing out!
p.s. Marco's formation this morning takes 2020 to 13 named storms TEN days sooner than the previous record, jointly held by 2011 and 2005.
Yet accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) is only 33rd highest - testament to the strangely narrow intensity range of the named storms so far (weak TS to category 1 hurricane).
With an active MJO passage taking place in the coming ten days, this really ought to change sooner than later, with something stronger developing. Some of the tropically specialised model runs predict Marco to be that ceiling-raiser, reaching major hurricane status while it traverses the GoM.
