Hurricane Humberto and Ike Coincidences

#1 Postby Ptarmigan » Wed Sep 09, 2009 1:54 pm

I am surprised no one has noticed this. Hurricane Humberto made landfall on September 13, 2007 at 2:00 AM. Hurricane Ike made landfall on September 13, 2008 at 2:10 AM. Humberto made landfall almost exactly at the same time on the same date that Ike made landfall in the same region of Texas, the Upper Texas Coast. Talk about a huge coincidence right there!

Yeah, a bigger coincidence is that BOTH of them impacted my city and BOTH of them were on my birthday. If TS Grace forms, it will hit SETX, and hit on my B-Day LOL

If it's anything like 2003's Grace...which it appears would be the worst-case scenario at this point....then you have nothing to worry about. :wink:

Oh, it was definitely noticed. We talked about it over here... both of them hitting here almost EXACTLY one year apart. Pretty strange coincidence! I'm sure it was mentioned on s2k last year.

Lol. This is great! A whole topic of discussion on this subject. I mentioned this on another blog, which shall remain nameless,
And everyone jumped down my throat about how stupid that was. And it's just a day like any other. :x Ugh! But yeah it is an eerie coincidence. In the History of storms in this area we have been hit more on September 13th than any other date. And it might happen again for the third year in a row. Even if we don't get a named storm we might get a depression. And it's almost 100% sure bet we'll get a ton of tropical rainfall. :lol: And another coincidence, not the date, but the time and the place, Rita made landfall at around 2am also. I call 'em night crawlers. :lol: Well, thanks for starting this thread. Good to know I'm not alone. :D
