That makes sense. An equatorial WWB would impart spin on its north and south edge - the GFS gif illustrated that beautifully. These type of twin storms aren't that rare, but I didn't really follow global tropics in prior years so this event was noteworthy for me (especially with Mocha becoming a monster).
Anyway, I remembered your post and Mr. McDorkface's reply and wanted to circle back – it was fascinating to see this particular prediction come to life. Thanks go out to you and Mr. McDorkface for the posts!
