What are the odds of the dates of them becoming hurricanes on the same date (month & day Sept. 24th), and also becoming a category 4 hurricane on the same date (month & day Spt. 26th)?

It was not the name that makes it notable.

It took 11 cycles (66 years)for that t0 occur.

Will it repeat itself again in another 66 years?

Just for the record tropical storms are also named now from the same 6 lists of 21 names that rotate every year, so it would repeat every 6 years. Helene may or may not be used until 2030, depending on the number of tropical storms & hurricanes that arise in 6 years from now.

Just an interesting fact.

Thanks a lot for the info. Very interesting.

My little point was that the odds of cat 4 hurricane named Helena on the same date are not that bad, assuming that the climate did not changed much!

There are all kind of solar and other cycles going on. Maybe, there is 66 year cycle of hurricanes? I do not have an idea, but everything is possible.
