Strange coincidence -- 11 days apart, same place

If you are one of those people who like strange coincidences, you're are going to LOVE this one: (picture above is Hurricane Ike below is Gustav)

1. Hurricane Ike's latest advisory

AT 200 PM EDT...1800Z...
THE CENTER OF HURRICANE IKE
WAS LOCATED INLAND OVER WESTERN CUBA NEAR
LATITUDE 22.7 NORTH...
LONGITUDE 83.4 WEST

OR ABOUT 65 MILES...105 KM...
WEST-SOUTHWEST OF HAVANA CUBA.

2. Hurricane Gustav's advisory
from 11 days ago --

AT 800 PM EDT...0000Z...
THE EYE OF HURRICANE
GUSTAV WAS LOCATED
NEAR 
LATITUDE 22.7 NORTH...
LONGITUDE 83.4 WEST.
THIS POSITION IS
OVER WESTERN CUBA NEAR
LOS PALACIOS

AND ABOUT 65 MILES...105 KM...
WEST-SOUTHWEST OF HAVANA.

Same place over Cuba. Same coordinates.

Of course, the predicted tracts are totally different and Gustav's winds were at 150 mph, making Ike's 80 mph winds seem weak.

The picture of Gustav on the left was from a few hours before it reached the place we are talking about here. I just couldn't find an archive shot at exactly the right hour
