QUESTION:
I remember one which went back and forth over Cuba. Don’t remember the name tho.
I believe it was Elena.
Will this help ? From WIKIPEDIA:
Hurricane Elena was an unpredictable and damaging tropical cyclone that affected eastern and central portions of the United States Gulf Coast in late August and early September 1985. Threatening popular tourist destinations during Labor Day weekend, Elena repeatedly deviated from its forecast path, triggering evacuations of unprecedented extent. The hurricane wrought havoc to property and the environment between southwestern Florida and eastern Louisiana, though lesser effects were felt well beyond those areas. Elena developed on August 28 near Cuba, and after traveling lengthwise across the island with little impact, it entered the Gulf of Mexico and continued to strengthen. Initially projected to strike the central Gulf Coast, the hurricane unexpectedly veered toward the east on August 30, then stalled just 50 mi (80 km) west of Cedar Key, Florida. Despite predictions that Elena would continue eastward across Florida, the cyclone remained nearly stationary for about 48 hours, causing damage all along the eastern gulf with high winds and waves, before slowly moving northwest and ultimately making landfall near Biloxi, Mississippi, on September 2 as a Category 3 major hurricane. The storm quickly weakened upon moving ashore and dissipated on September 4.
I was stationed at Keesler AFB in Biloxi for that one.
Hurricane cleanup extended my stay.
Earliest listed 1502 - 2017. Perhaps you can find it in there.
Happy hurricane hunting!!!! 8>)

Although this one may have been one of a few.
Interesting. In my admittedly sketchy understating of hurricanes I thought they started in the mid to south Atlantic and then worked their way westward.
