This is pretty crazy….
Some are calling it a Glitch in the Matrix!
Others are saying it’s proof we truly live in a simulation.
All I know is it’s really strange and seems to defy most odds.
It all started when I saw this posted on Twitter:
Can you explain this?
66 years ago
Same Hurricane
Same date
Same Category (4)
Same region.#HurricaneHelene pic.twitter.com/B36MtvfnbH— Jay Anderson – Project Unity (@TheProjectUnity) September 30, 2024
As I often say around here, we don’t write news articles based solely on Twitter posts.
We research and we do our homework.
So when I saw this, that’s exactly what I did.
I looked it up and to my astonishment the Tweet is 100% accurate.
Here is the Wikipedia page confirming the 2024 Hurricane Helene is a near duplicate copy of the 1958 Hurricane Helene:
66 years ago….
Same Hurricane.
Same date.
Same name.
Same Category (4).
Same region.
What are the odds?
Here are more details:
The hurricanes named Helene from 1958 and 2024 share several notable similarities, despite occurring 66 years apart.
Both hurricanes reached Category 4 status on the Saffir-Simpson scale, indicating very strong winds and intense pressure drops. The 1958 Hurricane Helene would have been classified as a Category 4 storm under modern wind scales, with peak winds nearing 150 mph, while the 2024 Helene also achieved Category 4 intensity as it made landfall in Florida, bringing similarly destructive winds.
Another commonality is their timing: both storms formed in late September. The 1958 hurricane peaked around September 27, and the 2024 storm followed a similar timeline, affecting the southeastern U.S. around the same date. Interestingly, both hurricanes impacted the Carolinas—Helene in 1958 passed within 10 miles of the coast but never made landfall, while the 2024 storm struck land directly.
Despite their differences in landfall, both hurricanes caused widespread damage. The 1958 Helene, even without making landfall, generated hurricane-force winds that battered coastal regions and caused significant financial losses, much like the 2024 storm, which resulted in power outages and fatalities.
These similarities highlight a recurring pattern of powerful storms named Helene striking the southeastern U.S. with devastating force and at a similar time of year.
