Sadly, the famous Sycamore Gap tree in Northumberland National Park, United Kingdom, has been cut down, and a teenager has been arrested in connection to it. Officials called it a "deliberate act of vandalism," and the entire community is deeply shocked and saddened by the incident. The Sycamore Gap is a famous landmark located along the UNESCO World Heritage site of Hadrian's Wall in the northern UK, where a lone sycamore tree stands in between two large hills. The area was famous for its picturesque views of the sunset and night sky, and the tree was the main character in its natural beauty. However, a 16-year-old boy cut the tree down on Wednesday night, which has forever destroyed the landmark that was once an icon of the northern United Kingdom.
On another note, Tropical Storm Rina has just formed not far from Tropical Storm Philippe in the eastern Atlantic, and some forecasts say they could even merge into one storm. Philippe formed as a tropical depression on September 23 and is now taking a slow turn south to brush by the Lesser Antilles before it comes back up, but it is only carrying winds of 45 mph and some light rain. However, Rina has about the same strength but is moving much faster, which increases the chances of the Fujiwhara Effect taking place. The Fujiwhara Effect is a term coined for when two tropical systems merge, and it is very rare. The two systems spin around each other until the weaker one crashes into the other, creating one stronger storm. However, even if the storms merge, it is unlikely that it will make landfall anywhere- they will probably just fizzle out in the Atlantic.
