Ever witnessed an earthquake or a hurricane? or both? Now imagine witnessing them both at the same time. Scary right? Well, not as scary as it seems. A team of researchers led by Wenyuan Fan, a professor, and seismologist at Florida State University have just discovered the phenomenon and it is called 'stormquake'. "I always like to reemphasize that 'stormquakes' happen because of storms," Fan said.
